Libertas Americana Designs

The first time I saw an original Libertas Americana medal I fell in love. I'm probably never going to buy one, but then I stumbled upon the @cardinal collection and discovered there was a whole huge world of Libertas Americana designs that I could try to find! Martin has been super, super gracious with his time and help, teaching me, and in fact got me started with my first restrikes to begin my collection. Since then I've slowly been adding. My latest TrueView popped yesterday so I thought I'd finally share the beginnings of my collection.
The first two I photographed through the holders so the images aren't great. I'm thinking of reholdering them so they can have proper TrueView's done.
I've started a showcase for them, too!

Super nice! And Cardinal has some killer ones. I also think it’s one of the prettiest designs out there.
I too will probably never own the real ones but restrikes are nice. I have a few.
The first one is an electrotype of the obverse, which is prolly the closest to real.

A couple of merchant tokens.

And the restrikes……I have a few blast graded ones but, can’t find it now.

The 1793 half cent is said to be based upon the Libertas Americana design.
I also love the design.
A: The year they spend more on their library than their coin collection.
A numismatist is judged more on the content of their library than the content of their cabinet.
Great collection @SiriusBlack
Very Nice!
I was going to say "Surely you can't be Sirius!", but I didn't.
@SiriusBlack... Very, very nice collection..... Those DCAM's are amazing. Cheers, RickO
Thank you everyone!
@CaptHenway I see what you did there!

Late to the party but I really love the design plus they are so pretty being grouped together …… sizes & tones in big family tree.
@SiriusBlack nice collection! ❤️
@cardinal as always my gratitude for sharing your knowledge and treating us eyes candies 🥰

I should submit this one to see all of the colors!
🥰 arrived Saturday ……. Seems a mile long mirror DCAM
I just posted an image of one of these in a July 4th thread! There are a couple of originals on eBay, but they are both moderately worn and net graded.
