<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Vess1, post: 2185795, member: 13650&quot;]I agree with your sentiment.&nbsp; It may sound odd but the part I like best about the obverse is actually the LIBERTY in large letters.&nbsp; &nbsp; After that I&#039;m just not a fan of the obverse.&nbsp; I&#039;m kind of like you, I really wanted to like this one.&nbsp;&nbsp; You shouldn&#039;t have to stare at a coin and try to find reasons to like it.&nbsp; &nbsp; I want to be instantly attracted to it.&nbsp;&nbsp; I feel bad to discredit whoever designed lady Liberty here but it looks like she&#039;s just kind of standing there for a photo shoot and doesn&#039;t want to be there.&nbsp;&nbsp; It&#039;s lifeless.&nbsp; &nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; We&#039;re used to the St. Gaudens design where Liberty is aggressively marching forward out of the coin.&nbsp; This pose is seriously lacking.&nbsp;&nbsp; I also think the background left bare was not a good choice.&nbsp;&nbsp; Some may think it would get too busy, but the background being void of anything seems to exemplify the &quot;Liberty doesn&#039;t want to be there&quot; look.&nbsp;&nbsp; This is probably why St. Gaudens didn&#039;t design Liberty just standing there.</p><p>&nbsp; I&#039;m neutral on the reverse.&nbsp; Don&#039;t love it, don&#039;t hate it.&nbsp;&nbsp; Low mintage alone isn&#039;t going to drive me to want to get one just because other people want to compete to flip/profit off them.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
