Truth1253, interesting. Weird. Still won't buy any. Or the baseball ones either. I refuse any gold dollars at the bank. Banks can't seem to get rid of them.
 

I do believe correct me if i'm wrong that a Greek statue with the head covered in stars is on top of the capital building. Sooo did the mint forget its history?

From a detectorists standpoint I just hope they come up with a $1 coin that actually circulates and gets lost on a regular basis. A $2 or $5 coin would be nice also. I have had several people show me their stashes of $1 GOLD Sacagawea and Presidential coins they WISELY had put back for a wealthy retirement as with all that GOLD they know they will be filthy rich. It was pointless to try and persuade them that they were just a base metal with a slight gold wash on the surface, hence some people hoard them, and they don't circulate and get lost where we could recover them. At $5 a pop maybe they wouldn't hoard them, and our Treasury Dept., could save printing all the paper money with a more durable metal coin that would actually circulate and end up coming home to Papa.

Keeping my fingers crossed, LOL.

Another idea could be to make a $100 coin for circulation, out of 90% gold (a pretty small coin, easy to get lost :) ). If someone loses it it won't decompose underground like paper money and will (I hope) be worth more than face value if gold goes up in the future. Maybe not the brightest idea for the government (the price of gold changes a lot), but certainly a great thing for metal detectorists and you will maybe having the chance of getting them from bank tellers ten years from now for face value, which will be worth it if gold goes up in value.

Why put a face on any coin, there are many beautiful coins that never had a bust on them. As soon as you put someones face on a coin it offends someone else. I have had the honer of finding a very rare pillar dollar and it is still my favorite design as soon as they switched the pillars and globes to a bust I felt the coin started to decline in popularity. After all for every great king or ruler or even a gods depiction there was someone who opposed them. So why not leave busts, portraits, and faces off coins. Stick to symbols and signs to represent money. View attachment 1456365

283 years in the sand and cleaned up like this. Back when money was made to last. Modern clad wouldnt last 2 or 3 years in the sand. Cant even design a coin without offending someone these days. Please anyone one who is offended by there money or coins please feel free to send those offensive coins to me and ill get them out of your site.

The mint already has a "$100" gold coin, a 1/10 oz AGE. Never going to circulate - but, never say never!
 

Today is the first issue day for this coin and of the series, and can be all yours for the lowlow price of $1,899. This would be one hellava coin to have. Who's buying it for me. My birthday is in September, lol

I really didn't want to get dragged into this thread, but I am pretty disappointed. I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I think it's beautiful and inspirational. To say it's nothing but "politically correct" to honor a black American strikes me as pretty ignorant. America was built on the backs of slaves, and black Americans are no less American than any other group. What makes America great it is its diversity. If a person feels triggered by a few changes to our currency, then I guess I feel sorry for them. My $0.02. But I do love how sensitive a certain subset of Americans have become...how ironic.
 

To recognize one, is to not recognize another. Putting one's attributes above another(whether it be race, creed, color, or religion) is discrimination, is it not?

No one dragged you in, you came in and are always welcomed. The deflection is obvious with the words "triggered", "sensitive". Sounds very familiar of another "subset of Americans" wanting to live in safe spaces while throwing Molotov cocktails.....how hypocritical. Here's a nickel keep the change.

No its traditional. I'm a traditionalist, so when things start changed and moving in different directions where does it end? In 2018 will Lady Liberty have a different private? And during these times that not a far stretch, is it not?

That's a real interesting trick you used there FeralMermaid. You know, the way the first half of your sentence is pretty sketchy if not false altogether, then the part after the comma is patently true.

I use that trick once in awhile myself. :wink:
