Just checked the mail and found that the new commem is here. I wasn't sure how well I was going to like it, but I do. I got the uncirc and it really does look good. Liberty is very well sculpted and the reverse has three types of finish (in a way). Though it is yet another commem that leaves the average person wondering what is being commemorated, I like the design. Sorry about the pic. Took it with my iPhone to save some time.  |

It looks very nice and I like the theme ( for a change ) but I would prefer to see some verse that Francis Scott Key wrote on the reverse with ONE DOLLAR at the base, UNITED STATES of AMERICA on top and E PLURIBUS UNUM much smaller someplace else. This would be nice. And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave

I'm with you TheNickelGuy. Wasn't sure if you had seen the gold version of this commem. It has what you're talking about...  |

No I didn't see the gold one but then in a set, I could see the dollar making a little more sense looking like it does since they went and used my idea.  Edited by TNG

My gold SSB Unc Half-Eagle arrived today. Thoughts folks might like to see an actual image to go along with the artist's rendering already posted. Enjoy!   Collecting history one coin or medal at a time! (c) commems. All rights reserved.

I wish they would have put the silver dollar obverse with the half eagle reverse. That would've looked very nice. Thanks for adding those pics commems.

Ridge_Runner: You're very welcome!
I agree with your comment re: the dollar's obverse and the half eagle's reverse -- it would have made for a great looking coin!

Never been a big fan of commems other than the '09 Lincoln Silver Dollar, but I'm digging these SSB silver dollars, especially after seeing pictures of real coins. I will be buying some during intro price period, just a matter of how many.
