We need a new coin, the .55 cent piece, ya know because that's what a stamp costs, but perhaps since everything is done online now, email, and payments, maybe we shuld just price the new coin at 1 month of internet connection instead.

 

Good thing you're #996!

 

How about a forever coin to match the stamp? So it would be 55 cents now and would go up (or down) with the change in the price of a stamp.

 

...oh so close....

 

He is a member here but doesn't come by very often. He spends his time on the NGC forum.

 

You don't say !

 

I know you know that, but others here may not.

 

I would be happy with the original Lincoln from 1909-1919 and go back to the wheat reverse. Not very imaginative I know........I guess it's the nostalgia in me, sort of like comfort food.

 

I thought that was the DEFDAM coins.

 

You? Have an ignore list? How about growing some legs first.

 

Is that because of the hat, sunglasses, mustache or all of the above?

 

Three for thee,

 

Here is what I would do (here I am talking base coins) for designs I would go with one side being Liberty and a other being the something that sums up the an aspect of the American experience (the Dollar would be the exception I would go Gasparro's original design for the small dollar but it the current gold colour.

one Cent = Gone
Five Cent to quarter no change
half Dollar = New smaller in the same gold as the dollar coin is now
Dollar =I don't see a need to change in but I would eliminate the dollar
Two dollar= bimetal like the Canadian Toonie or British Two Pound coin

 

I would like to see a return to the Standing Liberty Quarter and Walking Liberty half, they seem so elegant to me.

 

You have my vote.

 

A new half dollar with the winged liberty motif. Reduce in size about 25%.
