Iconic Symbols of America

I love the idea of the Eagles rotating the classic designs, as for new designs I would welcome new additions, but I feel real artistry should include new twists on our classic concepts. Lady liberty and the eagles are timeless and pure America!! A worthy new generation of these concepts is what our coinage really needs IMO.

I do like the idea of this old beauty on a coin!!

That would make a great coin...

bimetallic all the way!!!!



A nice example of that look.




The reverse look.


I think the Golden dollar with edge in it's current comp with a cupro center would look great!!!

I also think a copper centered coins would really look great.

 

What material are they using for the gold in the Euro coins? Is it similar to the Sac makeup?

 

I think we can do better than that. Much better.

I agree, much better, just using these for the bimetal look. If I was better at Photoshop I would make a couple of runs of the combos I mentioned earlier.

 

This look has some real potential. I would reverse the metals or clearly reduce the copper outer layer, but the copper\clad look could be stunning.

 

Still looks like a subway token

More creativity..

Ruben are you building a list of ideas to press the Gov on?

 

The pony express would be a good design, or even just horses. Horses played a huge part in all of early American life, so why not put them on a coin? The eagle is a great representation of America, but it never physically helped us accomplish anything. The horse, on the other hand, helped us in battle, transportation, and many other things.

 

yup...see the other thread somewhere -

I'm still thinking the TURKEY. Any of these would look better than a dead president. :whistle:
