Details? The Mint can't yet explain where George got the electric curling iron from for his hair.  Here's a Martha test coin from, probably, 1964 when they were testing out different alloys to replace silver coins. http://www.coinfacts.com/patterns/m...llar_obv.jpg |

What interesting portraits. Wow have fashions changed. I like the Jefferson Liberty dollar best and Dolly Madison's portrait looks kind of nice.

I'll be passing on these issues. They just don't do anything for me.

Another thing I don't like about these dollar coins and the sacs is the fact these coins get quite dirty fast. The sacs I rarely get in circulation look awful.
The new President dollars will be coated with something to prevent discoloration. |

Same here. That's a lot of money to pay for an ugly set of coins. I will, however, be forced to collect the Presidential dollars to keep up with my circulation-coinage type set. |

In my opinion, I think the Jefferson obverse is the best. As for the reverse, I think they should have gone back to the drawing board on these.

To me Martha looks a lot like George, Abigale looks like a wicked step-mother and Dolly looks like Carol Burnett. The third one is a nice looking coin though.  |

LOL, Abigail may be the reason these coins are not for circulation...they may scare the children.
Just wait till the men show their faces...not a pretty site, the children may still be in danger.

I really can't justify buying those things given how unattractive they are. Too many other things out there that I want and to be honest, these are no where near the top...
