<p>[QUOTE=&quot;coppermania, post: 1223403, member: 18304&quot;]From an artwork perspective alone, The AGE to me looks like a computerized rip-off of the ultra classic and expertly sculpted 20 dollar double eagle Saint, one of the highest achieved forms of artwork ever produced on an American coin. The reverse &quot;family of eagles&quot; is quite underwhelming as well compared to the large flowing wings on the original host coin. Hey, don&#039;t get mad at me , somebody had to say it. It is still American gold and there are many reasons to like it just for that as already stated on this thread. </p><p><br /></p><p>The Buffalo on the other hand conjures none of these feelings. Knowing the reprint if the Saint in modern bullion was a runaway success, I suspect the mint needed a sequel and trolled another classic and popular design when they settled on the Buffalo design. This time though they wisely didn&#039;t mettle with the design and just made a huge Buffalo nickel out of gold! I think it is really interesting to see full details of the design on a coin so large you hardly need a loupe! Whats not to like about that? They even get better when in proof production and quickly become a collector coin, where AGEs mostly get to hang out with Krands and Maples for company in hoards. </p><p><br /></p><p>Yes, it is time to create a new design for US bullion that can stand alone and alongside both of these coins. One that represents our Heritage and our current generation, but until then I will always prefer the Buffalo or a classic Saint for aesthetic reasons alone. JMO[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
