I do too, probably the best of all the options. But I also love the current reverse; why are they considering a change?

I am probably in the minority by saying the obverse should be changed. That design has been around a long time. I do like the various eagle reverses.

Or, why not change the whole thing.... maybe a new Seated Liberty on the obverse?

As the "most popular bullion coin," I see a reason for a design change. The Panda changes designs every year, so why not America try something new?

The proposed reverse designs are nice, but I wonder how they would actually look on a monochrome coin

The ASE is probably the best looking current US coin product there is...so why mess with it?

I can't say I like any of the new designs. I like the current reverse better.

I'm always a fan of the flying eagle over wings out spread or just perched. I like hcmusicguy's idea for a seated liberty obverse. That would be way cool. I've always liked the walking liberty obverse design, but I think a change to another classic design would be really neat.

I agree with you. It ruined walking liberty halfs for me, I just dont need it on both. Surely theres someone somewhere on the planet thats alive thats capable of making a new design without copying a previous one

I like #16, but I think they need to make it so the talens are out. Like the bird is swooping down at you.

I'm for leaving it as well. And if anything I also agree on changing the obverse to a seated design.
If I "had" to choose a new design out of the shown ones it'd be #40 with #25 as a second choice... But I like the current better than all. A lot of them are very very detailed, I wonder how they would look on a coin opposed to paper?
