The rules are simple. From now until April 7, on the dates listed below, voting will take place. In each round, you choose which coin should win! It doesn't matter why you chose that coin - maybe you like the design, maybe it has a cool name, or maybe you just hate the other coin. Whatever coin receives the most votes proceeds to the next round until we reach the championship on April 7! See the post here:

The last round determined who will be facing off in this championship round: the Flowing Hair Dollar clearly beat out the Oregon Trail 50c!
So, here is the final bracket!
This round is the championship round! Now is your chance to pick the winning coin! Make it count! Who will win? You decide!
This round will run until Saturday, April 13, when I will name the winning coin and the winner of the giveaway! So get your votes in!

Since I would have had the Indian Cent beating the St. Gaudens $20 gold in the first round, I had to vote for the Flowing Hair Dollar. The High Relief $20 is a great coin. The Low Relief version is not that great in my opinion. The design change had to be made for practicality reasons, but the result was a faint reflection of the original coin. The modern bullion coin interpretation comes off better.
No contest. Flowing Hair Dollar.
Six days left!

Now there's 2
Really surprised that so many here think the Flowing Hair design is better than the St. Gaudens... this shouldn't even be close!

I'm still all in on the $20 Saint Gaudens winning it all.
Currently at 50/50 as of writing this now.
For voters, it might not be about just the design. The rules let each individual choose whatever criteria he/she want to use. Could be historical significance, what one wants to collect, what one has studied more, a preference for or against gold, whatever. Could even be "revenge" by voting against a coin that earlier beat out one's favorite.
My strategy is about collecting what I intend to keep, not investing in what I plan to sell.
Uh oh the dollar is behind 😖
In the OP, I picked the Saint 20s to win this tournament. And here they are, in a tight match, about to take home the trophy!
Edited to add: Go,Saint 20s, Go!!!
I think the saint-gaudens is one of the most beautiful coins ever made that’s why I voted for it but I give a shout-out to the historical important of the flowing hair dollar
