I definitely like the gold design overall the best. I think it would have been better off as the silver dollar though, lend more space to the design.
The dollar feels a bit boring to me, like it will get lost with many other of the modern commemoratives that just don't stand out from each other.
The half dollar feels like a miss

I would love to have seen a silver dollar using the half dollar obverse with the gold five dollar reverse. I love symbolic imagery more than people. I doubt I will buy this silver dollar unless they offered it in a silver dollar and medal set. I do like those dollar and medal sets, you know. Maybe if they could make a silver medal using the half dollar obverse and gold five dollar reverse! That would be outstanding!  |

The half dollar is what appeals to me the most. Totally in for those and probably a silver (thought it's a VERY busy design).

Having been a fingerprint examiner for the FBI, back before computers took over, I love the reverse for the half dollar (BTW, that fingerprint is a 10-count loop  ), but the obverse badge is a pretty simplistic design in my humble opinion.  |

Put me down as preferring the half dollar design, too. But, for what I expect to be a $35-$40 price tag, I probably will pass.

I bought this coin and expect delivery tomorrow. Is it just me, or does there seem to be nearly zero interest in this issue? I see almost no discussion of this coin and I anticipate a very low mintage as hardly anyone seems to be ordering these (I bought the gold, but I don't think the silver coins are selling that well either.)

My law enforcement coins showed up Saturday. Not overly impressed.

I tried to talk myself into ordering one of the dollars and half dollars if for no other reason than to support law enforcement. Pricing is simply ludicrous to me. Passing on nearly all future Mint products (will try for a Morgan and Peace.)

Now that it is late in the year, what do folks think about the "rarity" of this coin (compared to other modern commemoratives)? Will it command a premium any time...anyone have a crystal ball?
I like the clad half design but typically don't get clad coins since there is no precious metal content.

I bought both the silver dollar and half dollar proof coins for my collection. I am not a big fan of the dollar. I do like the half dollar obverse. I wish it was on the dollar.

There's something interesting I noticed about the Law Enforcement proof half dollar. I purchase the silver dollar and half dollar commemoratives each year to keep my sets complete, specifically NGC graded examples on the secondary market. Even though my sets are part of the NGC Registry, I do not like paying extra for MS-70 or PF-70 coins. With that in mind, can you believe I'm still waiting to find the Law Enforcement half dollar in PF-69?  This tells me that almost all of the proof half dollars are being graded as PF-70, at least the ones I'm seeing for sale. Fortunately, I'm a patient man, in addition to being stingy.
