Future coin designs that I don't want to see and I do want to see

1. I do not want any more dead presidents

2. I do not want any more politically correct themes.

3. Let us return to the beautiful allegory of Ms Liberty

and it is a theme that would resound with the Nation. The

stamps have been long ruined, because they no longer look

like stamps. We should try to avoid the commercialism from

happening to our coinage. Otherwise, we are liable to find

Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck on our coin obverses.

    Perhaps now is the time for such thoughts. Our economy is

    in shambles, we are in a war, the American people confused

    and divided. What we need is a theme, to solidify the people

    and once again fill them with pride and hope.image

    No more croaked politicians, only lovely American ladies. They are the best representation of Liberty as it used to exist before the pickled presidents started invading our coinage.

    You guys are right. No more dead Presidents or deceased politicos of any type. Let's get back to lady Liberty image

    The problem with letting Lincoln or Washington( whom I don't mind) is that you have ventured onto the slippery slope. Having said that I don't think we need any more dead Presidents. Give me Ms Liberty!

    I collect all 20th century series except gold including those series that ended there.

    Is there a Barber in the house?

    The coins of Charles Barber are the last cohesive set of American Type coins. Back when our government looked for a more unified look in our coinage. Our pocket change today looks like a pile of game room tokens.

    I'm surprised no one complained of the dead presidents' dead wives being featured on coins. Of course they are closer in semblence to "Lady Liberty" than their spouses.

    You already mentioned the deceased presidents in point number one.


    Actually the depiction of Justice on the 2008 Platinums equals if not surpasses some of the depictions of Lady Liberty.
