She was the first but not the only AA to attend. So why single her out unlike the 2007 Little Rock H.S. Desegregation Commemorative Dollar.

This would seem to do a fairly good job of representing American beliefs. I don't know how "foundational" it is or whether the world would be different without it but it seems appropriate for a birthday coin.

Wondering how coin design has been influenced and determined (and received...) over time around the world--going back to the very beginning.

I'm not terribly optimistic that we on this forum will be able to keep sharply polarizing issues out of our dialog. I was part of an online community centered on one NFL franchise several years ago. Politics began to seep in and--despite appeals from the primary moderator/'owner'--the forum imploded in an ugly fashion. Arguing about offensive play calling was one thing, rather blunt threat slinging was entirely different. Not saying we've reached that point--just sayin'. Really hope we can continue to keep our focus as a CCF.

The Legislation that directs the minting of the coins calls for depictions that represent monumental moments in American History, not just the American Revolution. Therefore many subjects, including the Gettysburg address are fitting.

As for the comment that the Trump designs are just "catnip," why should the official US Mint site display "catnip?" Similar to the current attempt to display the President's face on the National Parks annual passes despite the governing legislation directly calling for an open process and submissions. Again, using the official government Department and website for "catnip" is plain wrong.

Before the rise of the internet and, more recently, social media, I doubt political debates influenced the national conversation about coin releases.

Social media gives people access to the unfiltered opinions of strangers they'll likely never meet so they feel more free to provide and argue about them.

I doubt that in 1925 a group of Democrats complained about the mint placing the image of a living president on a coin celebrating the 150th anniversary of the U.S.

In fact, the 1926 Sesquicentennial half dollar set a precedent for featuring the current living president on coins marking national anniversaries.

If there is a coin with Trump's image, I doubt it would replace the Sacagawea dollar; it would more likely be a commemorative dollar.

I also think the inclusion of the Gettysburg Address feels out of place compared to the other four quarter designs.

The other designs seem to celebrate the birth or events that led to the creation of the US, rather than significant events that occurred during our growth as a country.

I learned something today! I looked at hundreds of those coins a few months back, trying to decide whether to purchase one. In all that time, I assumed the guy next to Washington was Thomas Jefferson! =P

I'm buying only the dime, Revolutionary War and Declaration quarters and half dollar in clad PCGS DCAM proof. Washington and Jefferson fit on those quarters.

IMO, the proof sets will be heavily broken up for the dime and select quarters.

These coins, other than the dime, are not worth the hefty price of a silver proof set.

If the uncirculated set contains a coin with a sitting President, I will cancel the subscription.
