yup7676 Pillar of the Community United States 3789 Posts	Posted 04/08/2017 12:40 pm @Troy White Corn rows? Now I know you are pulling my leg because we both know they arent corn rows lol They are braids and the US Mint dropped the ball on the braids, thats probably the worst part of the coin, followed by the "stars". Outside of those two items, I think the coin is pretty good. The eagle looks great! The US Mint is on point with their eagles as of late. Hey if people like these coins, excellent, collectors should buy what they like, I for one wont be getting this coin but that doesn't mean I want to tell someone how or what to collect.

TroyWhite Valued Member United States 112 Posts	Posted 04/08/2017 2:24 pm Yup, you got me... It cracks me up the way we need to dance around on many of these new "coins." "Hey if people like these coins, excellent, collectors should buy what they like, I for one wont be getting this coin but that doesn't mean I want to tell someone how or what to collect." I agree with this 100%. Finally, I really dislike this coin and everything it stands for. I think Liberty was just fine as an African American on the Double Eagle. (or was she? it does not matter because the coin was made to unify, not segment and divide...) Report this Post to the Staff
barryg Pillar of the Community United States 5858 Posts	Posted 04/11/2017 3:02 pm All right, spare me the yawns, but my coin just arrived today. It came in an impressively (some might argue obnoxiously) large box, complete with a 50-page, hard-bound, full-color souvenir booklet giving the history of Lady Liberty on U.S. coins. The official pictures provided by the mint don't do the proof surfaces justice, so I purposely photographed the coin in such a way as to maximize the affect: [Outer Box] [Booklet] [Inner Box] [Open Box] [Obverse] [Reverse] [Edge] I still think the star crown is dorky, but overall I like the coin.

I like the coin, I just cannot afford it. I will be buying the silver flavours, even if there are four of them.
