[QUOTE="rbm86, post: 8036, member: 854"]I think the answer is: It depends (current coins, older coins, what era, regular coinage / commemratives / bullion coins, what country, etc. etc.). Well, here is a couple: 1. U.S. Coin, of all time: St. Gaudens $20 Gold (1907-1933), especially the 1907 high relief. 2. Second Place: Bust Dollar (1796 - 1804) These are just beautiful, artistic renditions of Liberty which, IMHO, captures what our founding fathers envisioned as symobols of Liberty. Thank goodness that lives on today with the silver and gold bullion coins, but I would like to see it in the regular coins. 3. U.S. Coin, Current Issues: The Lincoln Cent (Obverse) The Brenner portrait of Lincoln on the cent is, IMO, an American classic. The memorial reverse is OK, but I would like to see a change in 2009, which may come with the 200th anniv. of Lincolns birth. Any ideas out there for the new reverse? I cannot really think of any that are good.[/QUOTE]
