For the obverse, I think O-8 and O-14 would be good obverse designs.
I'm struggling a bit more with the reverse choices. Twain is more than just the author of "Huck Finn" and so I'm leaning against all the designs with that theme. I think I'd go with R-14 but without the "Mark Twain" banner or R-3 because of the message it presents (even though I don't generally like text-intensive designs).

I like 05 for the obverse and I like a lot of the reverse choices; mainly 6a, 7 (although a tad busy and cluttered), 8, and 13

I agree... Obverse 5 and reverse 12 do go really well together.
Anyone else notice that obverse 5 is the only one that says 2014?

@commems I just saw this comment of yours: Quote:
Twain is more than just the author of "Huck Finn". Oh, so very true! But of course that's mostly what everyone knows him by. Unfortunate, but it's better than not knowing his works at all. |

I would buy it no matter what the design is.

I am definitely interested in this one. Sam (I call him Sam) and I go way back. Met him when I time traveled back to 1893... San Francisco it was...  |

I like the simplicity and sentiment of reverse #2. Don't really have a favorite obverse.

If it wasn't marked with Mark Twain, some of the portraits reminds me of Albert Einstein.

There are plenty of pictures out there where the two of them look very similar... so I'm not sure it's an issue with the selected portraits, more of that they just have similar features.
What a great lunch that would be; hanging out with the two of them.

Due to how happy I am with the design and delivery of the U.S. Marshals coins... I can't wait to see these Twain gems.
Not that I want time to move any faster than it already is, I just think these are going to be great coins.
I've been re-reading "Huckleberry Finn" off and on for the past few months after DL'ing a very inexpensive Kindle version of Twain's complete works. I'll have a few more of his works under my belt by the time this coin rolls out!
