<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 1480299, member: 66&quot;]I have a question.&nbsp; On the rev of the silver doller, who&#039;s sword is that she is holding?&nbsp; I certainly hope it isn&#039;t hers.&nbsp; A broken sword is a symbol of having been defeated.&nbsp; And since there is no one else shown or mentioned on the coin the symbolism of the coin seems to implying that we were defeated in World War II.&nbsp; Doesn&#039;t the mint learn?&nbsp; The got in a big flap over this same symbolism on the reverse of the Peace dollar where the original design showed the eagle holding a broken sword.</p><p><br /></p><p>And the reverse of the five dollar gold, isn&#039;t this the third or fourth commemorative that has shown a battle laden soldier charging forward?&nbsp; The 1993 WWII commem, I think the Korean War commem, the Army infantry,&nbsp; now this one.&nbsp; The cookie cutter school of military commemorative design.&nbsp; Take image of charging soldier, put on coin, put something in the back ground to make it different from the others.</p><p><br /></p><p>The reverse of the half dollar, well I guess it is technically correct, and it is nice and flat so it shouldn&#039;t give any problems striking, and it has all the attention grabbing and excitement of a bowl of oatmeal.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
