Best US coin design type set?
Dave Hinz wrote: If you ran the mint, and could choose any US coin design from history to replace the uninspired collection we have today, what would you choose? My choices: Cent: Indian Head Nickel: Buffalo Dime: "Mercury" Quarter: Half: Walking Liberty Dollar: 5 dollar: Incuse indian (proper name?) 10 dollar: 20 dollar: St. Gaudens What would your dream lineup consist of? Cent - Draped Bust obv., Chain (cleaned up) rev. Nickel - Shield, no rays Dime - Merc. Coin is too small for anything else. Quarter - Standing Liberty Type I, incuse date Half - Walking Liberty Dollar - Draped Bust obv, Peace rev. $5 Gold - Stella obv, Indian type rev. $10 Gold - Coronet w/motto $20 Gold - MCMVII UHR Saint I would throw in that with modern striking methods, anyone's dream line-up would look great. Can you imagine how nice a Morgan would look without any bagmarks, rubs, dings, and other problems that are so prevalent within the series? Jerry |

With respect to Anita's fine farmyard choices (indeed many old bank notes had agricultural themes, so she's not far off the mark), I would choose from historical designs: Every coin issued by Ireland since 1928 has featured a bird an animal or a fish. Billy Except the 1966 10 shillings featuring Padraic Pearse, the 1988 50p featuring a crest, and the 2000 punt featuring a stylized ship. Mr. Jaggers Mr. Jaggers There's a bird on the back of the ten bob, a small one but a bird none the less. I sit corrected. There may be a bird nesting in one of the castles. :-) You remain seated, corrected. 8) I don't have an image of the punt but there must be a seagull in the background. :-) Billy Even a 500x microscope reveals no seagull. Mr. J. Try 1000x. :-) Billy |
