The Semiquincentennial (also called "Sestercentennial") in 2026 will likely bring more of these laser-engraved, resurrected designs. . .I'll likely get the 2024 medal.
When 2026 rolls around, there's going to be a flood of medals, coins, and other tchotchkes. The ARBA medals of 1976 spring to mind. . .

I have been a coin collector for many decades. So far I have not been lead astray by medals but this one is intriguing. I wish it was a silver dollar like the Morgan and Peace series. But then we would be getting a Trade dollar and Seated dollar let alone a Draped but dollar follow up. |

The U.S. Mint just changed their mind! No kidding!!!The "P.C." crowd is now getting their way! Here's what happened: "However, the CCAC [Citizens Coinage Advisory Committee] felt, given the program's focus on modern depictions of Liberty, that using a historic design for the American Liberty program was inadvisable." Ugh! I love those older numismatic designs! https://www.coinworld.com/news/us-c...erty-programSteve
A day without fine wine and working on your coin collection is like a day without sunshine! My collecting "Pride & Joy" is my PCGS Registry Dansco 7070 Set: https://www.PCGS.com/setregistry/ty...edset/213996Edited by Winesteven

Each have their own tastes.
I am much more used to the association that this design is most appropriate when it was contemporary.
I guess that if you can't get a pristine original, then
a latter day issue, based on the original design is a desirable enough second prize.

An updated article suggests it will be used for another program
Quote:
Mint officials have withdrawn the 1794 Flowing Hair dollar designs from the American Liberty medal and coin program, but will use them in a separate program celebrating the 230th anniversary of the first U.S. silver dollar in 1794. That works for me.  |

I'm in the opinion that the ccac made the right decision, as far as not recommending the design for the Liberty coin program.
If you understand the Liberty coin program is for modern representations of the concept of Liberty, the bucking bronco, the bristle cone pine, the Black person depicting Lady Liberty.
So to just use an old design and saying it belongs in the Liberty coin program to be doesn't seem like it's keeping with this program.
I'm not a fan of that design, but am happy they are making it. The only difference is it's not in the program.

The medals are a real non starter for me. If they monitized it, I'd be all in. Otherwise its just a medal and not all that interesting; another gimmick.
