    Modern proof coins such as yours are certainly eyecatching.
    Nice thing about them is that they are all cameos.

    Ike's are awesome... a big bald Kansan on the obverse, and a big giant eagle landing on the moon on the reverse! ROAR!!

    Not sure of the significance of the Bell in "Deathstar" mode (it looks ominous, like it's about to blow up the moon) on the bicentenial coins, probably just to make it unique like the 1976 halves and the quarters.
