Haven't seen any images posted of the new Five Star Generals silver dollar, so I thought I'd post a couple of the Uncirculated version.

As has been typical for the US Mint's silver dollars the past five or so years, the coin exhibits noticeably heavy, satiny "frost." The finish is definitely different from earlier silver dollar commemoratives issued by the USM.

I don't have an example of the Proof version of the coin, maybe Muddler or one of the other CCF'ers who collect the modern series in proof can offer up some images for comparison.

I will fire up the old film camera and get a few shots of the proof coin. The thing I noticed about it is that the eyes of the two generals are really deep set and they stand out prominently on my coin.

I just got my proof coin Saturday. Very impressed with it. I have not been collecting the commems per se but I figured this was a must add to by Eisenhower Album. Very happy with the purchase.

It was a set that taunted me. Photos would be nice.
