Fenntucky Mike Posted February 23, 2022 Share Posted February 23, 2022 I have less of an issue with the new design than most, it seems. I really don't have an issue with it now that I've seen it on a coin. I prefer the old design but I can live with the new one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J P M Posted February 23, 2022 Author Share Posted February 23, 2022 I think it will be hard to find examples in the wild that are not going to be all scratched and Bag marked . There are lots of smooth surfaces on this piece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay, calm down. I ain’t no South Texas fan. Chill out. The best stuff, the cutting edge stuff, still comes from NASA, as people will see when the SLS launches. It’ll make Elon’s Falcons and especially Bezos’ toys look like they were ordered out of the Estes model rocket catalog.

gmarguli Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 The dot on the nose is intended to be there. It represents the scab from the multi-year required use of a COVID mask. Personally, I think the obverse design isn't bad. I like the fullness of the space. I also like that he is facing a different direction. His spaghetti hair is gone! He's got a strong "don't mess with me" look. I'd have preferred a reverse with a bold eagle. This eagle looks like it was run over by a steamroller. Maya has clearly seen better days. Looks like she is missing her right hand. Also, between her and EPU, I can only assume that she's been stabbed in the back with a stick and that is a drop of blood dripping down?
