Who should be the model for a new Lady Liberty coin?

I'd vote for this one too....

Haha, I was wondering who she was also.

 

I found our Miss Liberty!

 

The SBA is way better looking than that... NOT.

 

SBA is like Michael Crabtree. Mediocre.

So many beautiful women so little time . I agree with Jim as most of these don't look like a Miss liberty , she should be good looking of course but look like the girl next door .
Pam Dawber comes to mind . But I voted for Christie Brinkley .

 

Girl next door types? That opens up a whole new vista in the actress category. Laura Prepon? Kristen Johnston? Kaley Cuoco?

But I've made my position clear already, and do agree wholeheartedly with the earlier comment in this thread that the model for a depiction of Lady Liberty really should not be readily recognizable as a specific real person.

 

Just as an afterthought, everyone seems to assume a profile as opposed to full body poses such as the Liberty seated, walking or standing coins. That being said, for those who are old enough to remember, Alberto Vargas' depictions of young women basically set the standard, for better or worse, for the American female form from about 1950 on. Talk about All-American and patriotic!!! Vargas girls were the basis for much of the airplane nose art during WWII (possibly the most famous was the B-17, Memphis Belle). Imagine a Liberty Seated coin with one of the Vargas girls.

 

The nose art from back in the day sure was a lot prettier than the ladies they've put on our coins so far. My favorite nose art-

 

Actually the art-work is already done. May I present the Liberty Belle

 

No offense to nose art but some of it conveys more of a sense of submission to me rather than Liberty.

 

I think it would be great to include a woman's bosom in the next design. The drapped busts had them. They were round and soft-looking too.

 

Be careful.

 

Actually my number one vote would be Lana Turner long before my time but in my opinion the most beautiful woman of all time wish she had a lookalike granddaughter

 

Amen!! Why that's my favorite coin design of all time!! A case could be made for the walking liberty halves too she was well built as were the st gaudens $20 both favorite designs of mine too I guess I just like pretty ladies

 

She's my kind of girl!!

 

My other top 3 for pretty ladies on coins let's make some more like these please

 

And when I say let's make some more like these I'm not referring to making them just like them In china either
