<p>[QUOTE="Blissskr, post: 2177900, member: 34882"]The mock ups look OK, and even though I'm looking forward to the set I'm not expecting them to look fantastic. Anyone who's looked at a recent gold eagle in the smaller sizes should be able to get an idea what these are going to look like. These designs aren't going to look good flat and lifeless imo, which even the current proof gold eagles suffer from. My mint survey gave the impression they were considering gold and platinum offerings both as separate coins and 3 coin sets and different finishes despite what the article says. Does anyone really think the mint isn't going to milk these and produce them in all kinds of finishes? They should have gotten legislation to mint them in the original 90% silver. Or at least mint them as medals in silver and remove the denominations for that matter.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.coinnews.net/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/2016-Centennial-24k-Gold-Coin-Mock-Ups.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
