Thanks for doing this again! Fun thread.

my predicted order: Kennedy goes first, then Franklin, Barber, Seated Lib, Capped Bust, Flowing Hair, Draped Bust, Walking Lib the most popular.

Russ

Anybody who votes for the Kennedy before the Barber is just plain silly.

First two are correct, and probably the first three. Dead presidents must be kicked out first. Franklin wasn't a president, so he can go second.

Just call me silly.

OKAY! Apparently you people need some education.

Can you say "BACKLASH"?

<< <i>OKAY! Apparently you people need some education. >>

Sure. Now show a G-4 Kennedy and a PF69-DCAM Barber for equal time.

Nope, dead presidents ALWAYS go first. We collectors who prefer allegorical representations of Liberty MUST take a stand.

Are you accusing me of slanting the presentation?

I voted for the Franklin, but I like all of the half dollar designs.

When there is a poll about which dollar coin is the least favorite, I know the Suzie B. Ugly will win hands down !

JFK is a goner. Oh, and the Kennedy doesn't have much of a chance this round.

Myqqy

Been a long time since I've been called silly.

But it's got to go.



Edited to add: Like the poll method the best.

They'll be a special place in hell for anyone who ever votes for the Walking Liberty throughout this entire survivor challenge.

Here is my prediction:

Kennedy goes first,
then Barber,
then Franklin,
then Seated Lib,
then Capped Bust,
Flowing Hair follows,

Between Draped Bust and Walker, I will pick Draped Bust as the winner.
Time will prove.

Thanks for doing it again! This is great fun!!

Russ,

Do you get the feeling you're standing on the edge of the highest wall in the Grand Canyon and about 50% of the poll voters each have one hand on your back, pushing... gently?

khayse

>and about 50% of the poll voters each have one hand on your back, pushing... gently?

It's not that gently.

Russ

I think you people ate a lot of lead paint chips when you were children.

The guy on the Barber half is almost as ugly as the one on the Franklin.

Baley

I hope no one let's posted images influence their voting


in case they do, here's a plug for a favorite

Louis

Looks like Kennedy has been shot down.

Beautiful coin! Isn't that the design that was panned by the press as a portrait of Reich's "fat mistress"?

anablep

Saying goodbye to Franklin first then Kennedy later on. THe rest will be difficult, but Barber will prolly be third to go.

BillF

Goodbye JFK...........

khayse

Baley,

Nice call. That's a beautiful coin.

So who are the nuts who voted for the Capped Bust of Walking Liberty ahead of JFK and Franklin. Gotta be some people who got
mixed up and voted for their favorite, right (I know I've done that at least once in the dollar poll).
