I like the depiction of Liberty on the Silver one. They should redesign the quarter with something like that.IMHO

wait a minute, are there beautiful versions that I'm missing? I guess I planned on it- but I don't think that half dollar is attractive at all... but then again the army half was awful too.

@amida17 - I know you are kidding but I'm surprised that you aren't as big a fan as I am of the Tarnishing Dollars series.

I bought 3 of the limited edition Canadian canoe $20 commemorative coins this year, it was one of their sellouts. These were kind of a waste of money, but not really.

I think I'll be passing on these. I'll use the money on some Franklin's or Walkers instead.

Well they don't strike me as beautiful but they have done a lot worse. At least on these coins they got the number of stripes on the flag right (They didn't on the Fort McHenry ATB Quarter designs. The designs show 13 stripes.) |

Yeah I don't think they are doing a half dollar with this commemorative coin series. I don't know what reasoning they use when they do some commems with half dollars and others without half dollars. I think the commem coin with the Generals in 2013 will include a half dollar.

I think that with the coins minted today our technology is making our designs too detailed and they are trying too hard to make the designs symbolic
eagles, lady liberty, and the bare minimum of words is what I like
-seriously is that shading on the sails of the boat
-it looks like someone used a sharpie and wrote on the second coin
-the third coin is alright but it looks crammed and like the had to force in the words around the design
-and the 4th one is just a bad design I think
out of all 4 I would take the 3rd or 4th one If I had to buy one

First pic is obverse of five dollar gold, second pic is the reverse.
Third pic is obverse of dollar, fourth is reverse.
I am not really loving the gold designs, but I think the dollar is going to be really nice. It's hard to picture it from the drawings, but I think I'm goin to pick one up. Nothing against military themes, but I'm glad they're mixing it up.

I won't be buying the $5 gold coin, I'd rather have a GAE. But I will definitely pick up the $1 coins in proof and uncirculated.

 I will probably go for the $1, but I won't turn any of them away if given as a present! |

If I were to buy gold, that's what I'd be doing, buying gold. I don't care what shape it is in, but I won't pay a premium because it's shaped in a coin. It's still, just gold. Was going to start collecting the ASEs but with what the Mint did with the San Fransisco mintmark, that changed my mind.
