Dollar Coin Survivor--Round 2

With an overwelming majority the Susan B. Anthoy Dollar was eliminated in Round One. On to Round Two!! Based on the obverse design only, vote for the design you like the LEAST. In 48 hours the design with the most votes will be eliminated. I will then create a new poll with the remaining designs. We will coninue the voting until only one is left. Lets have fun Ya'll

    No way the Sac goes down. The Trade dollar is fugly. The only thing it has going for it is history.

    And that's just what it should be in "Dollar Coin Survivor"... History!

    Just because I'm old doesn't mean I don't love to look at a pretty bust.

    I'm confessin' that I was one who voted the SBA out in round #1. If it was as hideous as the Eunice Shriver commemorative, I would have voted Ike out, which I did in round #2. If there is a round #3, I'd boot the Sac obverse (despite my admiration for the model).

    I like Ike only when I can find a high grade example in a dealer's junk bin. This design is as boring and conceptually constipated as the 1950's era of his reign (sorry Lucy). I despise generals in general, and am too young to play golf. Give me Liberty (Seated, Pottying, Busty, Flowing Hair, or otherwise), but show me the death of the low relief portrait of the front man for the Cold War.

    In 40 years I expect Ike dollars will still be an overlooked series collected by those who can't afford a collection of our best designs. I can now afford to collect boring Barber Dimes for exactly this reason, although I prefer the design of Mercs, Bust, and Seated Liberties.

    Wow, close race- I agree with many that the Ike design (as just about every design with a dead white guy) is pretty weak, but what I do like about it is all of the space. With a nice proof, all of that space just looks like a mystical pool of something....

    If the Sac and the Ike are this close tomorrow night, I think I will eliminate them both. If I only eliminate one, the other will certainly be eliminated next round. If both go we save some time. Whatcha think??

    You could eliminate the next 2 to save time its your game!

    It's funny the SBA was the 1st to go. I have sold 2 proof type 2's for over $150 a piece in the last year. So someone likes them. image

    I have seen several nice looking examples of the SBA. Proofs to be exact. I know that people who do like them Like them a lot!!

    You don't like Morgans??? Shame on you!

    I think the Morgan is one the prettiest coins there are.

    I think the reverse is great...The obverse, on the other hand, is my second least favorite design in U.S. coinage trailing only the Lincoln cent.

    The votes are in and it looks like Ike is out!!

    Here's the run down

    Total Votes: 99


    Flowing Hair 5 (votes) 5.05 (%)
    Draped Bust 3 (votes) 3.03 (%)
    Seated Liberty 3 (votes) 3.03 (%)
    Trade 1 (votes) 1.01 (%)
    Morgan 5 (votes) 5.05 (%)
    Peace 1 (votes) 1.01 (%)
    Eisenhower 44 (votes) 44.44 (%)
    Sacagawea 31 (votes) 31.31 (%)

    Liberty Head Gold 3 (votes) 3.03 (%)
    Indian Princess Gold 3 (votes) 3.03 (%)

    I have made an executive decision based on the number of votes that the Sac Dollar received, to "Sac" it as well. I think we can safely say that it would have gone next.

    On to Round 3!!
