cursive Valued Member United States 80 Posts	Posted 11/14/2012 3:19 pm Where does the US government release the candidates for coin designs given to the Citizens Coinage Advisory Committee and the Commission of Fine Arts? I've seen them on other websites, but I'd like to get them straight from the government if I could. Is there a US Government website where they're released? Report this Post to the Staff

cursive Valued Member United States 80 Posts	Posted 11/20/2012 12:57 pm Jbuck, that link only shows the final approved coin designs, not the candidate designs. I'm referring to the images like these: that show designs produced by Mint artists that are reviewed by the committees but are not necessarily recommended to the Treasury Secretary. If those pictures are on that page, I could not find them. I haven't heard from the Mint yet, so I sent an email to one of the websites where I found the included image. Report this Post to the Staff

cursive Valued Member United States 80 Posts	Posted 11/21/2012 01:15 am I got a reply from one of the people who runs Coin Update, Michael Zielinski. He says: Quote: They are not published on any govt website. They are distributed to the organizations that review them and the press. So there it is. I guess they just give the pictures to the press who physically attend the meetings. Still, , but at least the design candidates are released to the public through the numismatic press instead of being buried in the Mint archives to be seen years later, if at all.
