The eagle is nice, but Lady Liberty looks like she had a bad day at the hair salon. Meh!

Not to me. The image is just strange looking. The eagle looks like something that was used on a different coin.

 

NAW

 

Not "breathtaking" so much as "head-exploding".

Maybe someone will offer colorized versions where poor Lady Liberty's skull is restored.

 

That's funny! Mint advertising, diversity and political correctness at it's finest! No Lady Liberty I recognize. Give my 17 year old with a CAD could be the Mint's Chief Engraver!

 

Wait, what? It's just a goofy rendering of rays -- at least, I don't think it was intended as equal representation for Plagiocephalic-Americans...

 

Wanta bet?

 

Product Limit: None

 

...and I wonder why?

 

so the big boys can buy lots and get stuck with them

 

Plagiocephalic
I must admit I had to look that one up

 

Had no idea she had a lobotomy.....

 

I'm thinking more microcephaly.

 

Looks to me the mint was going for a Peace Dollar effect and failed . I'm going to get 1 for the Eagle reverse though .

 

Yeah, but we were talking about the design, not the design committee members.

 

99.00 for 2.5 ounces of silver, and a medal on top of that. Not for me.

 

When it hits $55 on the secondary market I'll be in for one. The reverse is a beautiful design. Maybe display it with the reverse facing forward

 

I like it. Too bad we can't get the mint to replace one of the boring dead white dudes on a circulating coin with her.

 

Gotta agree! Tonight is the first time I heard about it, so I was a little impressed until I saw the price tag. Nice but no !
