<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Eaglefawn, post: 2534599, member: 82237&quot;]The thing that reaches me is: just how many different finishes &amp; mintmarks do we really need of the same coin? Burnished, Proof, Mint State, Reverse Proof, Enhanced Uncirculated, Satin Finished, Special Finish...on and on it goes ad nauseam. </p><p><br /></p><p>Instead of a new finish on so many of our coins it would be nice to launch a new coin altogether...why not a $5.00 coin for circulation (and in our Proof sets) with something beautiful on it? It wouldn&#039;t have to be huge and I believe the average person likes larger coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>People never stopped hoarding 1/2 dollars and at this time one never finds them &quot;actively&quot; in circulation (tho I see in some areas of the country they&#039;re available via banks having recently watched the JFK video yesterday). In my neck of the woods...never see um.</p><p><br /></p><p>I agree with Danmar 2 an Eagle as Beautiful and worthy of Miss Liberty on the Reverse of the current Silver Eagle would be wonderful. The Eagle on the reverse of the St Gaudens Double Eagle in flight has something to offer. Or the Eagle that appeared on the Reverse of the 2015 High Relief Liberty $100.00 gold coin...or some new Stately Eagle design.</p><p><br /></p><p>We managed unique creativity for the 1776-1976 Bicentennial coins...let&#039;s get creative again.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
