Is that a missile coming out of the ground behind them? Look out soldier!  I like the continental soldier design but that's about it. |

I like the $5 gold obverse but it seems very detailed and I don't know how much is going to show on the actual coin.

Those are truly hideous. The mint hasn't minted a truly beautiful commemorative since 1999's Dolley Madison silver dollar.

I like the reverse and obverse of the 5 dollar gold design. And I also REALLY like the reverse of the 50 Cent design. BUT, the obverse is HOWLING UGLY though ! ....  I don't care for the Silver Dollar design AT ALL.....  I wonder if this will come in a "Three Coin Set" ? |

Disappointing for such an important subject matter.

Okay, so I like all of these better than the reverse of the Florida quarter design. The 50ยข reverse is clean and by far the best of the bunch. The rest are way too busy ... obviously designed by artists who were ordered to cram everything they could into the field. Whatever happened to symbolism on coinage?

I like the Obverse of the 5 dollar coin, not to crazy about the reverse, and I like the Reverse of the half but don't care for the Obverse. To be honest I think I like these designs as a drawing but not sure how much I will like them on a coin

I also like the obverse of the $5 coin. Also like the reverse of the half dollar. Other than that, not so much.

The obv and rev of the 5 dollar would look better on the on the silver dollar IMO.

I like the $5 gold but the price is going to be steep I'm predicting. I want a nice Military coin to show my support. Guess I might look at the disabled Vets.

I'm the odd one out here I like them all especially the dollar the proof cameo should look really nice in hand the bicentennial quarter would look just as busy in a line drawing but turned out nice in my book.
I will be ordering at least the dollar and half the $5 will be outside my budget..

I think they're not bad (although the obverse of the .50 could use some work) and that it's just easier for people to immediately say 'yuck' to anything new put out. It seems like it has become quite the popular thing to do recently. People's opinions are their own, though I suppose - and they're entitled to them so whatever. I'll order a couple.

I like all the reverses very much, and I find the obverses decent.
