<p>[QUOTE=&quot;windwalker, post: 1672077, member: 38923&quot;]I&#039;ve been watching this series and am interested in purchasing either the proof or uncirculated dollar and half dollar.&nbsp; However, what has me interested in these coins is not the coins themselves but the reasoning that the Navy&#039;s five star holders were not included anywhere in this coin offering.&nbsp; Don&#039;t forget that they were King, Halsey, Nimitz and Leahy.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Another interesting tidbit is that MacArthur and Eisenhower didn&#039;t like each other.&nbsp; Eisenhower served under MacArthur as did Marshall.&nbsp; Only MacArthur gave Eisenhower an annual fitness review that was less than complementary that said the Ike really wasn&#039;t fit to command.&nbsp; I&#039;ve always wondered how MacArthur felt when Ike because president of the U.S. for a job that Doug felt was rightfully (or wrongly) was his.</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway, getting back onto topic, of the two finishes (Proof or Uncirculated) which would be the one to get if you were going to buy just one type.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
