<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Stephon, post: 1939910, member: 71337&quot;]In my honest opinion, I think that the modern rendition of Saint Gaudens&#039; striding liberty figure on the obverse of the American Gold Eagle is cheap, tasteless, makes a beautiful design ugly. Since there has been talk of changing the reverse of the American Silver Eagle because the 25 year minimum on coin designs has expired, I think that there should also be talk of changing a cheap and ugly rendition of a beautiful design.</p><p><br /></p><p>I think that the US Mint should adopt a new design on the obverse of all the American Gold Eagle coins that would feature a portrait of Theodore Roosevelt. The portrait of Theodore Roosevelt used would be the bust of Theodore Roosevelt that was used on the Saint Gaudens 1905 Inaugural Medal. Theodore Roosevelt is one of the greatest Presidents that we have had which have not been honored on a regularly issued coin that is issued year after year. I think that is something that should change.</p><p><br /></p><p>It would be fitting if the US Mint made this change starting in 2019, the 100th anniversary of Theodore Roosevelt&#039;s death. </p><p><br /></p><p>I would like to know what everyone thinks about these ideas.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
