All right, spare me the yawns, but my coin just arrived today. It came in an impressively (some might argue obnoxiously) large box, complete with a 50-page, hard-bound, full-color souvenir booklet giving the history of Lady Liberty on U.S. coins. The official pictures provided by the mint don't do the proof surfaces justice, so I purposely photographed the coin in such a way as to maximize the affect:

I still think the star crown is dorky, but overall I like the coin.

I think that is a star headband, not a crown. A crown would sit on top of the head.

Thanks for the pics! The headband doesn't look as good as I imagined from the earlier pictures, but everything else looks really nicely detailed.

I will not yawn. I will drool.

I like the coin, I just cannot afford it.

I will be buying the silver flavours, even if there are four of them.

To get things back on track, here is a video the mint had released showing the new $100 liberty coins being produced which is pretty cool!

I agree -- that lacquered box is handsome. Reminds me of a smaller version of the ASE 25th OGP box.

i got this coin and thought it was amazing! I did have a question though; the edge doesn't come together completely. is this normal for an edge-lettered coin?
