gpnyc Posted January 12, 2007 Report Share Posted January 12, 2007 Ordered one silver for each of the boys and a gold for me. Not sure how I feel about the design so I'll wait to see them in person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sbvenman Posted January 12, 2007 Report Share Posted January 12, 2007 I think it looks a little cartoony. Is it just me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtryka Posted January 12, 2007 Report Share Posted January 12, 2007 THe half eagle is horrific!!! Note how they obscure the "$5" in the brochure, that denomination makes this look like a gaming token for the high limit slots at an Indian casino! The dollar isn't too bad, might end up ordering one of those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AuldFartte Posted January 12, 2007 Report Share Posted January 12, 2007 I think it looks a little cartoony. Is it just me? I quite agree. I think I'll pass on those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedeadpoint Posted January 13, 2007 Report Share Posted January 13, 2007 I'm poor. I don't care too much about modern commems, but I am a proud Virginian. So, if I had to drop a few bucks on a silver buck, should I get the UNC or Proof? I may opt for both since I did get some b-day money recently. OR I could get 2 examples of one of them. Any advice?

jtryka Posted January 13, 2007 Report Share Posted January 13, 2007 for this one it seems like the proof might be prettier, but the uncs almost always have lower mintages, so I'd get one of each. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiffibunny Posted January 16, 2007 Report Share Posted January 16, 2007 The cartoony is why I like it so much. It's looking like some of the world counterparts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
