[carson city]

be a buyer of this set ? CoinWorld reports that pricing for this set is still to be determined. Dollar coin will be silver, $5 coin will be 1/4 oz. gold and half dollar will be clad.

 

CoinWorld also reports that this set is the only commemorative coins to be issued in 2008.

 

Sign me up for one proof set and one uncirculated set !

[SatTech]

Yep, one of each for my modern commem set.

I might buy some clad ones.

[jtryka]

nope.

I think the designs actually look really cool. Though of course the Mint could really $¢rew 'em up when they actually put the sketches into metal. The only designs (of the 6) I don't like are the reverse on the silver and gold coins. I realize that they have historic significance, but the silver one (the seal of the US around 1800) looks like a rubber chicken, and I'm sick of the current seal from Kennedies.

 

I'll probably buy at least the clad and silver.

I think the reverse for the silver coin is one of the most ugly things I've ever seen on a coin.

I'll get the clad and the silver. No gold for me.

Nice set but I doubt this set can be bought for the quick flip for a profit.

I think the reverse for the silver coin is one of the most ugly things I've ever seen on a coin.

 

Interesting, isn't it, how the same bird can be represented so differently? The obverse eagle looks so majestic and lifelike, while the one on the reverse looks anorexic and cartoonish. Hopefully, that design will get modified.

I've already registered MY OPINION. Unless these coins come off looking significantly better in metal, I'm not going to be a buyer.

 

 

EDITED to add pictures:

 

$5 gold:

 

$1 silver:

 

50c clad:

I didn't realize this before, but the "Challenger" reference on the half dollar refers to an individual bald eagle - wikipedia.

I like the gold will order one of those. Don't like the shield or what looks like a chicken on the reverse of the silver dollar.

[bsshog40]

About the only one I like is the 50c clad version.

Let's hope the Mint doesn't "lay an egg" with the $5 gold coin !
