The real Pike's Peak Gold

I must be bored.

The artist who made the Pike's Peak Gold coin obviously never really saw Pike's Peak. He must have been eating a pile of mashed potatoes when he drew the design.

This is my favorite coin because it's so quirky and rare. I think the crude artwork just makes it more unique. The idea of putting a mountain on a coin is great. It just needs to be executed better.

Pike's Peak looks more like this.

Is that not the Mashed patato eaten down? Did the mountain wear off or was it
intentionally removed?
Hmmmmm,.

For those at work who have Photobucket blocked, here is a live web cam of Pikes Peak.

BTW, if you do get to go to Pikes Peak, go to Challenge Unlimted in Colorado Springs. They have bike tours down Pikes Peak. Yes, you can ride a bike down Pikes Peak. It was a hell of a of a ride!

After looking at a wonderful live show which had an early morning rainbow...I agree that the coin shown is very handsome!

Nice Photoshop work, but you can still see some of the 'jaggies' on the left side of the Mountain
