Message:: [QUOTE="CoinOKC, post: 95792, member: 2146"]I've said it before and I'll say it again... this is one UGLY coin! The design elements are all askew. There's too much blank space on the obverse (especially compared to the reverse). The portrait's eyes are "bug-eyed" and it's nose is too long compared to the thin, delicate lips. The hair is reminiscent of a wild, "Bride of Frankenstein" look (maybe her hair dryer is set on MAX setting). And what is with the giant "G" in GOD compared to the other lettering? And what is with that wacky "R" in TRUST? The reverse is as nearly bad an abomination. The eagle looks like he's lifting his wing to avoid being burned by the sun (or maybe he's passing gas, who knows?). The word PEACE is incuse whereas the other lettering is not, all the lettering seems crammed onto the coin and the denomination is stuck in the middle because there's nowhere else to put it. And no one, but no one, uses dentils on coins anymore. It think this fad went out in the 19th century. Overall, this coin looks like a reject from the Gobrecht era.[/QUOTE]
