CCAC-Makes-Design-Recommendations-For-Ronald-Reagan-Presidential-$1-Coin,-Mark-Twain-Commemorative,The following is an article excerpt from Coinweek
At its March 5 public meeting in conjunction with the ANA National Money Show in Portland, Oregon, the Citizens Coinage Advisory Committee (CCAC) made recommendations from the available design candidates for the Mark Twain commemorative coin program, the Rosebud Sioux Code Talker Congressional gold medal, the Monuments Men Recognition Congressional gold medal and the Ronald Reagan Presidential $1 coin. The committee also discussed design concepts for the 2017 America the Beautiful Quarters program and the Nancy Reagan First Spouse coin and medal.

The meeting started a little after 9:30 Pacific Standard Time (PST), with the Rosebud Sioux Tribe Congressional gold medal.

I'm really not crazy about that obverse for the silver dollar. The reverse will be neat.
Gold looks great!

Wow some of those reverse designs for the Twain commem are...questionable. Why would Twain riding Haley's comet ever be an option? Glad they picked a better one.

Next, the Committee considered design candidates for the 2016 Ronald Reagan Presidential one dollar coin. The general feeling was that the designs were more or less similar, so after a quick debate on the virtues of teeth on presidential coins, obverse 1 (RR-01) was chosen as their recommendation.
I did not see the image in the article, but one can see it here...

Interesting. I probably would have gone with some alternate picks but I'm sure they'll turn out well.

Samuel Clemens was born in 1835, the same year that Halley's comet made it's second appearance after Halley had worked out it's orbit and predicted it would return about every 75 years. Toward the end of Clemens life he made the famous comment that he came in with Halley's comet and he would go out with it. Clemens died in 1910, the same year that the comet made its third predicted appearance.
