I am not a real big, "it's getting dated, change it " fan. And I hate all those medal reverse designs, to cartoonish. If the St Gaudin's design is getting old then way on earth would you want to resurrect a "classic" design. When Australia decided on a different design for their national bullion, they didn't bury the Koala, they supplemented it with the Kookaburra, then the Kangaroo. I would be totally on board with a second U.S. silver bullion coin of a totally new design. How cool would that be.  |

I'm willing to consider any design change that incorporates some classic design. I'm not a big fan of putting politicians or some iconic head-shots (e.g., the Barber coinage). |

I wish they would rotate the reverse designs like the proof gold and platinum issues.
Keep the bullion the same but spice it up for the collector base at a reasonable price for the proofs since I can never afford a proof gold or platinum eagle.
Sales are strong as it is for the silver eagles but I think a rotating reverse for the proofs could take it to the next level and knock out the competition.
US MINT. ARE YOU LISTENING?

I think they should have an artist depict equality and community as opposed to Liberty on the new design.  LOL |

I'm definitely going to have to get me one or nine of those! Quote:
American Gold Eagle's eagle. They look to "perfect", "modern", "artsy" I couldn't agree more. Quote:
Change the obverse to a different Classic coin design Well... I don't know if I can agree with that. I can imagine that a new obverse would look wonderful, but it would look like a completely different coin. Edit: I think #40 looks the best and #31 and #32 look the worst. It looks too much like the Kennedy half reverse and I really don't like that one. Edited by Cruisinfusion

So if they change the design, and the denomination( from $1 to $5 ), will that raise the value of the old ASE's at all ? |

I really like #23 and #24 too, but I think #41 is a better match for the obverse.

I say #16, but have the eagles talons drawn. That way it is like the view of a small mammal getting ready to be snatched up.

As far as I know they have NO plans to change the denomination. The reason some of the designs have a $5 denomination on them is because they were rejected designs for a five dollar gold commemorative. All of these designs are recycled rejected designs from other programs.

None of those stand out to me as being better than the current design. We shouldn't change the design just for the sake of something new. If a new design is desired, it should be an improvement over the old, not just something different. How about something like the ATB 5 oz coins, but in a 1oz design. That would supplement the desire for something new without throwing out one of the best looking coins in American history. |

If the $5 coins have already been rejected for the 1/10th ounce gold eagle why are they still be bandied about as original drawings. Once a submissions has been rejected it should be rejected forever. #1 - 7 look like rejected coin drawing for a commerative coin. #12 reminds me of a dove and not an eagle That being said if they are still looking to revise the ASE # 25 looks appealing to me. |

They weren't rejected for the 1/10 oz gold eagles, they were rejected for various commemorative half eagles. For example 39, 40, and 41 were rejects from the US Marshalls program for the half eagle coin.
