tommyd Posted February 25, 2007 Report Share Posted February 25, 2007 These came today. The obverse of the gold piece is nice but what's with that reverse????? The silver coin is pretty nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burks Posted February 25, 2007 Report Share Posted February 25, 2007 I agree, the silver is very nice indeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art Posted February 25, 2007 Report Share Posted February 25, 2007 The obv of the $5 seems to lack detail. Maybe it's just the lighting. I like the designs of both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottishmoney Posted February 25, 2007 Report Share Posted February 25, 2007 Not bad for a modern commemorative, but where is Pocahantas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedeadpoint Posted February 25, 2007 Report Share Posted February 25, 2007 I like them both for the most part, too. I think the obverse of the $5 looks like someone whohas designed coins before was in charge. Not bad in contrast to our current circulating coins.The reverse isn't bad but I still think the use of the $-sign is ugly and lazy As for the dollar coin, the obverse is a little funy looking and the native-american looks like he has glasses. The ships have odd proportions but I like the biloughiness of the sails. Not bad coins. I made an attempt to get myself a dollar coin but they weren't for sale yet and I don't have tons of money : ( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtryka Posted February 25, 2007 Report Share Posted February 25, 2007 It's funny how we went from Longacre's beautiful reverse of the half eagle last year to this glorified casino token reverse. I resolved that outside of mint and proof sets, I will not pay more than face value for any US coin where the $-sign is incorporated into the design. On the other hand, I like the silver dollar and ordered a proof and unc version, the proof shipped last week but still hasn't arrived yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
