<p>[QUOTE=&quot;The Half Dime, post: 25177731, member: 153164&quot;]Recently I&#039;ve been working on a new coin design for some pre-33 denomination resurrecting. I believe that pre-1933 $5, $10, and $20 could succeed in circulation if not made of gold.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here&#039;s my concept: a design similar to the 1870 pattern silver dollar, with Liberty sitting, and instead of holding a shield and a banner, she is petting an eagle in mine. It is meant as an illustration of unity between two symbols of freedom, and the reverse would feature the Liberty Bell. The Liberty inscription would be on a shield behind Liberty.</p><p><br /></p><p>The reverse lettering would say &quot;United States of America&quot; and &quot;In God We Trust&quot; below it, somewhat like a Peace dollar. Under it, it would say the denomination. </p><p><br /></p><p>Each coin would weigh in grams 1/2 of the denomination number as a way of getting it to circulate, except for the $5 coin, which would weigh 4 grams, and a possible $2 coin which would weigh 3 grams.</p><p><br /></p><p>What are your thoughts in making these denominations in the form of coins? Refer to the picture to get an idea of Liberty petting an eagle.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
