Seniorita looks like a kid. I'm going with mature Liberty.
She's 50 years older than Miss Liberty!!!
Age discrimination 😞
Forum prejudice.
I've never been a fan of our Peace Dollar design.
Collector of Liberty Seated Half Dimes, including die pairs and die states
If Senorita Libertad is a minor I retract my vote I thought she was early 20's.
The Senorita looks like a younger version of Morgan's dollar design.

NOW she's mad! VERY mad.
NO ENCHILADAS FOR YOU !!
I’m going to do a write-in, vote for ANYTHING in @winesteven or @DeplorableDan’s collections.
Miss Liberty looks just fine at closing time!

I feel bad voting for a 10 year old. Peace dollar is the only remaining option...

Is she truly 10 if so I retract my vote. I thought she was in her early 20's. Why would the original poster do such a topic with a possible minor as an option?
I like the older ladies

I am 20 and she looks really young

I have a young teenage niece and the girl on the coin looks 20 to me but if I am wrong then this topic should be closed. That is not OK and gross.
I messaged the OP he should delete this topic.

……
I think the Peace and Morgan faces look like they’re under 20 too. Anyone who wants to give me their offensive coins I’ll be more than happy to take them. 🤔😂
Is she a minor or not? If they are minors this topic should be deleted that is just common sens.
I would assume not. This is a nation's coinage and it would be foolish to model it on minors.
That is what I figured an innocent post. These days we have to be careful. Like you I have no idea of their ages.
Probably it's a good idea that no teenage girls modeled for coins in the 1980s.
Poofy hair and big bangs would trump Flowing hair every day of the week.
So your concern is if the female on the Senorita Libertad is a minor, then this post should be closed?
Your thoughts then on the Miss Teen USA and Miss America’s Teen Beauty Pagent’s being widely covered each year by the mass media? Apparently, if you don’t have double standards, you feel those two events should not be covered at all!
Now that your comment has been put into perspective, at least to me, my thoughts are to ignore your concern, and proceed with this post as is! This post is entirely numismatic, and your personal views are twisting it! Should this forum ban us showing photos of our Type 1 Standing Liberty Quarters? Even though Miss Doscher was a young adult, you probably feel it’s sexually objectifying to show that young woman NAKED from the waist up. I think I know your position.

Wow. This topic got weird real quick. I assumed we were talking about the portrait on the two coins presented. Based on my original assumption, The Peace dollar has too large a nose that appears to have been broken at some point. The Libertad has a much more pleasing profile.

I never really liked the hair on 1921 peace dollars, the least well struck ones remind me of Medusa’s hair made out of snakes, so I voted for the other one.

The Peace Dollar model.
In all the years I have owned that Colombian Peso, I never once saw it as anything but a very beautiful crown sized coin.
The comments have been very surprising.
@FrankH Thanks for sharing your example, I never seen that particular type. The original photos make the coin's proportions (large dentils and portrait) appear dime-sized, but it is even cooler that it is a peso.

This was a decent thread but now it has spun so far out of control some things need to be addressed.
If I had to guess, I would say the OP had no intention of bringing the subject to where it ended up, and let me remind everyone, where it ENDED UP is teetering on a VERY STRICT VIOLATION of our forum rules.
For those that need to be reminded, the category this post has been created in is US COINS and that is what any further comments will pertain to - US COINS. (Or in this case, COINS since one of the coins is technically not US).
This will not be treated lightly.
Furthermore, if you look at a coin and can turn a discussion into anything close to where some of this discussion has gone, perhaps the issue is something that needs to be addressed in a mirror. This is stated out of concern, not ridicule.

I apologize to the OP.
Absolutely ridiculous where this thread went and devolved to. The original post was innocent and relevant to U.S. Coins (and Non-U.S.) and their design. I had no problem with it and it was interesting.
Sometimes, it’s better to be LUCKY than good. 🍀 🍺👍

FWIW I like the Peace design slightly better, but the other one is very nice…

Me too!
Lots of different versions of liberty are very pretty, but that has always been my very favorite. 👍
They even did a good job on the 2007 first spouse with that design.

Personally, I have to vote for Teresa Cafarelli de Francisci if selecting from the two. IMO she was a gorgeous woman. But, I am also married to a beautiful Italian woman, so... I guess she's my "Type" .
I am a newer collector (started April 2020), and I primarily focus on U.S. Half Cents and Type Coins. Early copper is my favorite.
I want to thank the op for this discussion. I will also overlook the crazed commentary, everyone goes nuts once ( or more). I never saw the Mexican coin before and it was interesting to view it and compare. Have never been a Peace Dollar fan due to the poor striking issues leading to terribly weak details. I am also not a fan of the Mexican coin either. But this was a fascinating comparison nonetheless
what'd I miss?
