<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Troodon, post: 26120779, member: 4626&quot;]Uniforms from 1775 were not well, perfectly uniform, so it is at least reasonably plausible, allowing for artistic license.&nbsp; At any rate it&#039;s aesthetically pleasing, and while I like the raising of the flag on Iwo Jima that&#039;s on the silver dollar, it&#039;s nearly the identical design the 2005 Marine Corps silver dollar already had.&nbsp; (I think this is only the second time, Christopher Columbus in 1892 &amp; 1992 being the other, that essentially the same subject was commemorated twice on US commemorative coins.&nbsp; Arguably the 230th anniversary and the 250th anniversary are different things, but let&#039;s be honest both were commemorating the same event, just a different number of years after it.)</p><p><br /></p><p>It arrived today and I&#039;m happy with it, seriously considering getting one for myself later (even though I served in the Air Force rather than the Marines lol).&nbsp; Mint even gave me a gift box even though I didn&#039;t ask for one![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
