Where can we find out this information.I havent heard anything about the classic designs returning. especially the low mintages. The Bust designs are my favorite.
You can find it where I said you could - "But you can find the information in the numismatic press like Coin World & Numismatic News."
Wow -and I thought I was "in-the-know"...when you say "first lady"..."classic designs"..."liberty bust"...are you describing the first ladies series gold coins? -your description sounded singular -and the reverse will be a classic liberty design?? has a design been released? lots of questions -but I like your adage "knowledge..... share it". thanks
It's not a question of being in the know - I just read a lot. But to answer your question - yes. The law that authorizes the coins states if a President had no wife then an image of Liberty would be used. And the image of Liberty that is being considered is the same design as that found on the bust coinage. The other thing to consider is this - how were ladies portrayed during the time of our first Presidents ? The answer is just like the designs found on bust coinage - so that is what they planning on doing. Think about it - Mrs. Washington, Mrs. Adams, Mrs. Jefferson etc etc. No. a design has not been released - just a description.
