    A disturbingly ugly coin. The SAC dollar had one thing going for it, the beautiful eagle on the reverse. The mint recognized this fact and quickly remedied that problem. The US mint motto is all ugly all the time.

    Can't say I like it, but it is different....

    Not too bad, except there would have been lots of space for a year (and maybe even the mint mark) on the obverse. And I don't quite understand why they did not use matching fonts on the two sides ...

    I can say I hate it and they should ditch the presidential dollars, maybe end with Lincoln, and put the Eagle back on the Sac.

    Now that I see the actual coin for itself I don't "hate" the reverse as much as I did the artistic rendition of the coin....

    Well, at least they"re trying anyways. If they had just stuck with the original reverse, we'd all be complaining about how they never change anything fifty years from now.

    I have to agree with this one. I am just a little confused why the corn is four feet high and she's still planting stuff!:confused:

    Oh please, someone come up with an explanation. Now everytime I see the coin, I'll think of how silly that is.

    I also agree with the comment about different typefaces.

    Oh Sacagawea, it is getting hard to defend you........
