Just an alternative here...since there will be no 2009 dated proof silver eagles, why not just end the series with 2008 and have a brand new bullion coin to replace the silver eagle in 2010? This way there is no "gap" in collectors sets.

That is one of the most original ideas I have heard yet. I always hated having a hole in my album. Maybe a totally new design would look great instead of a recycled design.

While I don't think they would do it, I LOVE the idea of a Standin Liberty Quarter theme 1oz coin. Or maybe a Barber!

Although the Standing Liberty quarter has a beautiful design, I would like to see something new that wasn't from a previous coin. Something emblematic of America. It would be interesting to see the gold american eagle design used on silver sometime though. Edited by TheForce

I love that there is a gap. It will drive all of the anal collectors crazy for the rest of their lives! ! ! ! !

I like the idea of a bust design. That would make me buy it.

My vote would go for recycling the Peace dollar for a new silver bullion coin, it's one of my favorite coins. Wouldn't it look GREAT in proof! John1  |

If it would look like the 2010 cent design I would say don't.

What a great post! Hearing everyone's ideas (even if it doesn't ever happen...) is really fun. I always love hearing new ideas.

IMO... (1) they obviously don't care about collector's too much; and (2) the U.S. Govt could never put together something new (a recycled idea even) in less than a year.
Although it is fun to dream... I would prefer something new, but keeping with an allegorical figure.

Wouldn't it look GREAT in proof! in my opinion there is nothing that would make the Peace design look good. I know some people like these things but I can't seem to figure out why, to me its the ugliest coin design from any country ever minted. I could live with any other design recycled except this one, and if they were to recycle the peace design for any other coinage I would definitely be leaving that particular US coin out of my collection. I started to even leave the hole in my 7070 album because of my feelings about the design and probably would have if my Grandfather hadn't given me a few of them from his collection |

I do admit the obverse is not the best, but the reverse on a Peace dollar is what I like |
