Well I learned something new, but it doesn't change that I wanted liberties on my coins (not presidents).

I love US coins and am gradually trying to get date / mint sets of the more modern lower denominations, and one of each type for the older and gold coins. I have a handful of modern commemorative half-dollar and dollar coins, but can't imagine ever buying one of the commemorative gold $5 issues: I'd rather spend that sort of money on a classic coin. |

Susan B. Anthony is older than she looks.  Two thousand years ago she was a Queen of Egypt, her beauty was celebrated throughout the world, and she had a lover named Antony.  https://www.brianrxm.comThe Mysterious Egyptian Magic Coin Coins in Movies Coins on Television

Couldn't agree more. Coin lacks dignity and any aesthetic appeal. Worst design in our country's history. If someone offered me one in change, I would ask for something different.

The SBA proof isn't terrible. The. Elmer Fudd/ Franklin .50 cent piece is so much worse!  |

I don't like Ikes. (obverse)
I have just one clad example. That's enough for me.
Mind you, some World coin designs are far worse.

I like the $50 gold octagonal Pan-Pacific commemorative. That's not going to happen. I don't think I could bring myself to buy something like that even if I were to find myself somehow a multi multi millionaire.

@ TNG: wrong message.
My first thought: 'liberty below the waist?'. I don't think that is what the designer intended.
I don't have $50 Pan Pacific coins either,
but,
I have had the round and octagonal $50 gold coin pair sitting in the palm of my hand. 4 ounces of gold!
This happened at an international public auction view day.

This coin design was only half thought through ? Lol, it's like they cut the picture in half to save space and put the wrong half in |
