[QUOTE="1964Quarter, post: 879883, member: 24725"]Here is what the obverse of future coins should look like: In the for ground is Lady Liberty looking strait ahead with a her torch held hight. Behind her is an open door with rays from the sun shining through. The New Colossus "Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame, With conquering limbs astride from land to land; Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame. "Keep ancient lands, your storied pomp!" cries she With silent lips. "Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!" At her feet lay a sword and a shield. These symbolize her readiness to defend that which is behind the door.[/QUOTE]
