tabbs Posted January 22, 2006 Report Share Posted January 22, 2006 No, do not expect to see any pictures here ... yet. But I came across this press release from the US Mint; not sure if it has been posted: United States Mint to Present Designs for New 24-Karat Bullion Coins, 2007 Presidential $1 Coins, 2007 50 State Quarters Program® and 2007 Jamestown Commemorative Coin http://usmint.gov/pressroom/index.cfm?acti..._release&ID=636 Seems that on Tuesday the "design proposals" will be out.

Guest Stujoe Posted January 22, 2006 Report Share Posted January 22, 2006 Images of the Presidents will be derived from the United States Mint’s Presidential Medals, dating back to the earliest days of the Republic. If they are going to use designs fromt he Presidential Medals... http://www.usmint.gov/mint_programs/medals...idential_Medals http://catalog.usmint.gov/webapp/wcs/store..._category=10193 might give an indication of the 'treat' we are in for.

Burks Posted January 22, 2006 Report Share Posted January 22, 2006 Some of those medals look pretty good. I really like the Washington one. To me these coins are going to be hit or miss. Hopefully they look great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tabbs Posted January 23, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2006 might give an indication of the 'treat' we are in for. Thanks for the link to those images. Well, I suppose that the portraits on the $1 coins will be a little "flatter" (low relief). But basically the designs look OK to me.

Guest Stujoe Posted January 23, 2006 Report Share Posted January 23, 2006 I have most all the Presidential Medals and they are kind of nice. But, they have been done already. Maybe they will only use those for the first year (time crunch?) and then come up with something more original for the next ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UncleBobo Posted January 24, 2006 Report Share Posted January 24, 2006 Why in the hell does Virginia get any say in the commemorative silver dollar program?

Scottishmoney Posted January 24, 2006 Report Share Posted January 24, 2006 I wonder if we are going to see knockoffs of these, ala the "Close Quarters" things with Arnold the Gubernator and Clinton having fun behind a tree on the Arkansas quarter?
