    Just curious as to why the current Dollar Coin design (SAE) was excluded from this competition ?

    I do not consider SAE as being in the same category as the other coins listed. Each of the coins I listed are and were struck for circulation. The SAE series are struck for collectors and "investors". Silver Eagles are Bullion Pieces and although they say "One Dollar" on them they are not "Dollar Coins".

    The early returns still have the Draped Bust design as our #1 dollar obverse. This design was the least likely to be eliminated in previous rounds.

    If the U.S. Mint revived this coin for a collectors' issue (as they did with the Buffalo nickel or perhaps even the $20 Saint or Walking Liberty Half) would their modifications dethrone our champion as our favorite dollar design?

    I would not have voted for the glorious cleavage of the original Gilbert Stuart/Robert Scot portrait of Anne W. Bingham if I knew that we were instead voting on the hideous and ubiquitious Asian cast counterfieits of this design.

    Prost!

    Why step over the dollar to get to the cent? Because it's a 55DDO.
  • foodudefoodude Posts: 3,572 ✭✭✭
    In the real world, perhaps a different outcome. In the coin world IMO ((which has no weight) "Flowing Hair" wins- it is not even close.

    Ok. We need to decide your next one!!

    How about.... 50 cents or 5 dollar gold next?

    The seated Liberty should not have lost, it is the most awesome design on any coin, I even like it better than the Walker

    Yeah. What would make it more fun, though, is if the vote results weren't visible to anyone but the person who created the poll. Even in the early rounds, it was VERY easy to know the eventual winner by the vote totals.

    The draped bust is going to win. But If any coin deserved 2nd place its the flowing hair. What a great and historic coin design.

    Great idea for a thread and I like the idea of other denominations. Will you wait until 2008 to do the state quarter series ;-)

    I can already pick the quarter from my current home state of Texas to be near the bottom of the list. There were so many things they could have done with Texas, and we get...an outline of the state and a star.

    And the star is almost over DALLAS. Dallas!!! image

    Okay...I guess I'm "Bust"-ed!image This has been a great thread, and it's no secret that these last two survivors are my favorites of coin designs.

    It does seem that the Draped Bust is going to come in first, with the Flowing Hair design second. I think that's just how our founding fathers would have voted. After all of the colonial designs and the discussion of using Washington's portrait on our coins (an idea George Washington was particularly opposed to), Benjamin Franklin changed everything with a proposal for a medal to commemorate the victories in the Revolutionary War -- the Libertas Americana Medal:

    image

    These medals were struck in Paris, France in 1783 and presented to the King and Queen of France, the French foreign ministers, and the members of the Continental Congress. Congress was so impressed with the Flowing Hair design, that they abandoned the earlier coinage design concepts, and included in the Mint Act of 1792 the requirement that "on one side of each of the said coins, there shall be an impression emblematic of Liberty."

    Unfortunately, the early U.S. Mint was not able to strike up the boldness of the Flowing Hair design as had the Paris Mint, and the result was a design thought too informal for polite society. The design was changed to the Draped Bust type in 1795 after less than one full year's production. The new design must have been a "hit" with the public -- it was continued in use on Dollars until the denomination was suspended in 1804.

    So, it seems the opinions of our forum members today are really not all that different from society of 200 years ago. Let's bring back more of these great designs!

    BTW, the ladies of the Cardinal Collection will be busting out of the bank to visit Pittsburgh! (The full collection will be on display at the ANA in August.) So, if anyone would like to see Miss Dollar Survivor and her first runner up, please stop by!

    Messed up and voted Draped Bust when I meant that's the one I would keep.

    Luckily it doesn't look like it will affect the outcome. Flowing Hair, ugh. image

    Interesting poll and interesting that they followed chronological order so closely if the gold is excluded.

    Wait a minute, wait a minute. The type II gold dollar was not included in the poll. Do over.

    How can you not love this.
