<p>[QUOTE=&quot;900fine, post: 291214, member: 6036&quot;]Wow, Clinker ! You&#039;ve really outdone yourself this time. Thanks for the research ! :thumb:</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I&#039;ve always liked the Trade Dollar design - one of my favorite US type coins.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I hit all those links, and here is what I saw : a lot of <b>good obverse designs</b> and a lot of <b>bad reverse designs</b>. REALLY bad eagles on some of those.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>My <b>favorite obverse</b> is the &quot;Liberty at the seashore&quot;. Sitting on a globe is better than sitting on a bale of cotton. I didn&#039;t like any of the busts of Liberty, and I&#039;m glad they didn&#039;t use the &quot;same ol&#039; same ol&#039; &quot; Gobrecht Seated Liberty. I like those coins, but I&#039;m glad they tried something more appropriate for the Trade Dollars.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>My favorite reverse is the one they actually used; I saw nothing better in any of those patterns.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Again, thanks Clinker ! It was an interesting time for coinage what with these and the &quot;goloid metric&quot; stellas and quint stellas.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
