US Mint or Moonlight Mint?...

She's one toke over the line.

It's hard to not see the Saint-Gaudens knockoff attributes of it, at which point you really see how inferior it is to his work. The concept could have been executed far better than it was.

And here all this time dumb old me thought it might have something to do with the 13 original states.
Live and learn....

I figured it was inspired by this

I like it. Don’t mind the stylizations or ethnic eyes. FWIW, Richard Masters pencil sketch does not show a heavy lower eyelid.
It’s just a medal/coin, not the end of the world they’re trying something a bit different.

The reverse is great, the obverse,...I like some elements and dislike others.

Is it me or does she look angrier in the silver version?

Well, wouldn't you be a bit cheesed if your twin sister got gold and you just got silver?

The head is misshapen imo,
It’s too pointy!

I like it a lot, a very creative and expressive emblem of Liberty. I would like to see a creative rendition of Liberty on circulating coinage.

I'll bet Scott would agree with my opinion of that "pig."

Without reading this discussion...

The obverse is an UGLY, UN-ARTISTIC, JOKE. Liberty is missing half of her head under a stupid "ray cap."

I agree. It's horrible.

Nah, Scot was more artistic than that, look at the creative artistry on the draped bust to right gold

The new design is a great use of space and balance to emphasize patriotic symbols of Liberty that have been important since the original Great Seal of the US, in a modern portrayal.

Thanks, you just made my point! The obverse of this new issue is not artistic in the least FOR MY TASTE. That's all that counts FOR ME. I'm just posting an opinion that will not change any one or anything except for the fact that I will not purchase this UGLY COIN! Perhaps it will be another "Susie" dollar flop.
