Which Of These Seated Liberty Pattern Designs Do You Like ?

My first thought about the hair was "a ponytail?" but, then I kept the idea of free flowing hair in mind and thought that might take away from the design instead of add to it...if that makes sense. Keep the belly button as it makes the design more realistic as we all have one. I didn't try to sit that way as Becky did but, maybe it's possible for a thin, limber lady such as you've designed. Oh, the ankle bracelet is symbolic of what? Is it just a neo-classical thing? I'm not familiar with the symbolism of it - just me. Otherwise, I do like the hair versus the bun. It gives her more of a relaxed, 1870's touch. Good job as usual!

DCarr are these for sale when they are minted? Where?
If not..why? I think they are all different and beautiful to have as a collection.. Thanks

remember these are all are opinion but I am sure we would like your work any way you make it. Keep up the good work dcarr!!

For me, it's #994 mated to the no-circle reverse. I'm a fan of minimalist design and judicious use of whitespace to draw out the design details, and #994 flat works for me. I kinda agree with the hair and leg detail recommendations, and I'd sure like to see that design with no denticles, a wire rim and the rays carried all the way out.

Now, that would be a coin.

You mean like this ? :

Very, very nice Daniel. I'm glad that you removed the anklet too. Now I'm noticing that her lower calf is a bit thin and her feet look a bit large or slightly out of proportion. Her hand looks a little large also. However, the design is a keeper whether you agree with her calf, hand or feet IMHO! I would imagine that there are only so many design changes that can be done and that everyone can't be satisfied. I would purchase her as is though.

You know, if you removed the belly button everyone would think it was an error coin! tee hee

Like that, dcarr. Beautiful.

The big image is just large enough for my desktop (I run 1680x1050). Now, to figure out what to do with the rest of the space.

I think that is absolutely fantastic!

But (always a but, no?) focus on the stars to the exclusion of all else--the spacing is really weird. What if you spaced the stars regularly without regard to the other design elements? They would intersect, but it would be much more natural-looking.

This may sound stupid, and I cannot really visualize it totaly, but have you thought about doing away with the denticles and putting 50 smaller stars around the circumference?

Similiar to the $20 St Gaudens......
