Thanks Commems, The 2008 Bald Eagle releases of The Silver Dollars, The Clad Halfs, And The Gold Fractional, 1/10th, 1/4, 1/2 and The 1 Ounce, IMO are All Exquisite..  I have the Pleasure of Owning/Enjoying Almost all of these releases of 2008....     Imo, Some of these " Modern " Commemoratives are Very Well designed, Some not as Much. |

ratio411, I moved your reply from the older topic to the active one.  Quote:
If you don't like, don't buy I definitely will not. Especially because they would have skipped over Reagan for him. ( See my earlier reply.) |

The coin's proposal is destined to elicit strong reactions from all sides. To some extent, this is nothing new/unique. Back in 1963/1964, there were those who did not favor placing an image of John Fitzgerald Kennedy("JFK") on the Half Dollar and/or believed the measure to do so was being rushed through Congress. Granted, this camp was a small minority, but my point is that 100% agreement is a diffiu=cult goal to achieve.

accomplished more for America than Ronald Wilson Reagan? A Kirk commemorative coin before a Reagan commemorative coin? Are you kidding me? idk? I can think of a couple of folks 11,000+ ATC fired...then rub their nose in it and re-name an Airport after him. Quote:
A commemorative coin—any commemorative coin—would be absurd, divisive, and inappropriate while the political climate is this volatile. Especially an A1 advocate for God-Family-Country. Quote:
I am sorry it that sounds hyperbolic, but it has been on my mind since the beginning and I felt it finally had to be said Me too! If they make it...put me down for 2 smat |

President John Kennedy had a similar "pet" in the early 1960's named Dr. Thomas Dooley or "Tom Dooley". Dr. Dooley worked in Vietnam in the 1950's as first a US Navy doctor and then as a civilian. He made frequent appearances on American television and wrote books supporting the Kennedy administration's policies in Vietnam. Like Charlie Kirk he died young. He was awarded a Congressional Gold Medal which was presented to his mother. Bronze copies of the medal were sold to the public.  Dr. Thomas Dooley bronze medal More about Dr. Dooley and his medal at this Coin Community post: https://goccf.com/t/319963https://www.brianrxm.comThe Mysterious Egyptian Magic Coin Coins in Movies Coins on Television

He was awarded a Congressional Gold Medal Yes. And let the Mint sell bronze versions as usual. But a commemorative coin? Still a hard and steadfast NO! We do not want to set that precedent.  |

Celebrity sainthood is a long-standing tradition. It won't be a shock to this observer if Mr. Kirk's image appears on a USM product in the next year or two.
Thanks in advance, commems, for keeping track of this saga.
