I moved to bullion a while back and haven't bought usmint anything in a long time now. But that is a nice coin.

The obverse is beautiful, but the eagle is doing some serious contortions. I'm not sure what it's doing with the left wing.  Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures

The head/center of the coin, if someone just showed me that area and it was an unfinished design, I'd be pretty excited. Been then it turned into something like, IDK, a bald eagle morphing into Zorro? Like it's wings are becoming a cape? It's very artistic, I don't outright hate it, but if I was the mint, I'd be asking for options from the artist. Think "natural beauty", not "fantasy". The obverse. Nice, again very natural and artistic. I just don't see how it ties in to the concept of Liberty. Same with the Bristlecone Pine for that matter. And if I did want to buy in to this program, I'd want to probably go silver, and these artistic designs look way better in high relief. So tell me again why they can't do high relief silver medals?

The more I think about it, the more I want it. But that price tag.
