<p>[QUOTE=&quot;JeffC, post: 7562636, member: 90913&quot;]I agree that American Mint has some VERY NICE educational pieces. They also have some very well struck pieces with extremely detailed designs.&nbsp; I&#039;ll post one example of each. My only problem with them is the $80 or more that they want for a gold or silver <i><u>plated</u></i> medal.&nbsp; But sometimes I get lucky when they sell some clearance pieces for $9.95. LOL.</p><p><br /></p><p>My educational piece.&nbsp; Barber&#039;s Double Eagle design when he was hoping Saint-Gauden&#039;s would fail.&nbsp; Few of us could afford the real thing of course.&nbsp; Would love to see it in the Smithsonian one day.&nbsp; This would&#039;ve been the first U.S. coin with Liberty on both the obverse and reverse sides.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1304002[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>And here&#039;s an example of a very detailed design.&nbsp; A Statue of Liberty Reverse Proof Medal.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1304005[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>When you zoom in on the torch, you really can see all the details.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1304006[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Too bad not more of their pieces are $9.95.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
