Nice coin. Thanks for the chance.

AgBlox · December 14, 2009 12:56AM

A coin with a coin on it, cool.

mkman123 · December 14, 2009 1:14AM

Love what was written:

Honesty, Truth, Integrity

Those three define coin collectors!

InternetJunky · December 14, 2009 1:21AM

I'm going to have to agree with mkman123 I think he captured it.

I wonder if the designer especially liked Franklins over any other series. Or if it was just chosen because it would be most recognizable in a smaller size instead of trying to use a coin series with a more complex reverse design, that after striking, may be mushed together.

The details of the eagle are very nice too, along with the excellent mirror field. Great coin!

Thanks for the chance.

illini420 · December 14, 2009 1:34AM

I think it's pretty cool, even though the person in the photo is looking at a Franklin

The eagle is pretty sweet though, thanks for the chance!

rons · December 14, 2009 1:53AM

I am loving the coin and just wishing that everyone would abide by those three principles. and thank you for the splendid give away

keepdachange · December 14, 2009 1:54AM

love the coin and Thanks!

ajia · December 14, 2009 2:03AM

<<what you think of the coin.>>

Love the DCAM look.
Like the Eagle.
Hate the flat hand holding a magnifying glass that isn't magnifying.

Honesty, Truth, Integrity.
Something all collectors should strive for (not just U.S. collectors).

BUT, it is 1 Troy Ounce of .999 Silver!

thanks for the chance John.

AUandAG · December 14, 2009 2:10AM

I like that eagle reverse! Thanks, but you need to enter mine too!

Billet7 · December 14, 2009 4:26AM

Thanks for the chance!

Edited to add...I like it. I would love to make my own coin some day!

laserart · December 14, 2009 4:30AM

Nice medal, great design. Why couldn't the U S mint do something like that?

bretts911 · December 14, 2009 4:33AM

Thanks sweet looking coin

Musky1011 · December 14, 2009 5:54AM

Thnx 4 da chnz

Stuart · December 14, 2009 6:33AM

John: Thanks for sponsoring this giveaway, and for the opportunity to participate.
Happy Holidays to you and your family!

I think that the silver proof token is cool, with the Gobrecht Dollar Flying Eagle Reverse (one of the prettiest sides of a U.S. Coin) and the Honesty, Truth & Integrity Coin Collecting image with a Franklin Half Dollar under the magnifying glass.

dantheman984 · December 14, 2009 6:47AM

Great Looking Coin! The way my eyes are going, I am using a Magnifying Glass more and more.....

TavernTreasures · December 14, 2009 7:11AM

Nice eagle!

smet · December 14, 2009 7:13AM

Cool coin that I have never seen before with that added bonus....its silver

. Thanks for the chance.

MORGANHUNTER2 · December 14, 2009 7:28AM

lessee here

A sweet looking Flying Eagle obverse

and a looking glass looking at a 56 Franklin reverse (its a DCAM FBL)

and words anyone should really live by- not just collectors.

This would look cool in a set up I'm doing for my gran baby..

Thanks John, for the chance!

Boom · December 14, 2009 7:32AM

Very nice Silver.

Nice of you to do this.

Please count me in.

Thank you.

robkool · December 14, 2009 8:11AM

KOOL !!! A coin within a coin... I also like the flying eagle design on the reverse.

FullStepJeffs · December 14, 2009 8:30AM

Thanks for the chance.

Lovely coin.

I'll race you to 1,000?

blue594 · December 14, 2009 8:37AM

Very cool round. I've never seen that one before.
Thank you very much for the chance.

John

lathmach · December 14, 2009 8:59AM

I'm in.
Cool silver round.

Ray

Bochiman · December 14, 2009 11:28AM

While I generally don't like patterns, nor simple rounds, this one is pretty cool.
It's got the eagle on one side, and showcases coin collecting on the other.

lunytune2 · December 14, 2009 12:03PM

so very cool

bigtime36 · December 14, 2009 12:28PM

It is definitely different, and I like it!!!!

Jim

savoyspecial · December 14, 2009 12:34PM

PaleElf · December 14, 2009 1:42PM

stumpy041486 · December 14, 2009 1:43PM

Cool coin! Thanks for the chance.

Millertime · December 14, 2009 2:37PM

The eagle is kind of neat. Thanks for the chance!!

Millertime

pendragon1998 · December 14, 2009 5:37PM

I appreciate that the designer chose to emphasize qualities that s/he felt would make a good collector. I find it interesting that the magnifying glass doesn't appear to magnify what's under it.

Thanks for the chance.

deadmunny · December 14, 2009 6:30PM

Appreciate the contest. Nice eagle design and I'd grade the coin BU :-)
Happy Holidays to you and yours

bstat1020 · December 14, 2009 9:27PM

Thanks for the giveaway.

Nice coin with a coin on it! I think that is FBL???

RyGuy · December 15, 2009 12:23AM

I love both the obverse and reverse. I just wish all of us would follow suit! Thank-you for the chance.

Ryan

edix2001 · December 15, 2009 12:25AM

I think it's great when an online organization can get a medal struck, and then year after year! It's quite an achievement and says a lot about the organization's leadership. I think the front side design is bold and appropriate, and I like the nostalgic changing reverses.
Great stuff!

RedSoxinNYC · December 15, 2009 12:30AM

I like this coin, very cool. Thanks for the giveaway!

Meltdown · December 15, 2009 12:56AM

I love the dense frost & black mirrored fields, Beautiful modern design!

topaz77 · December 15, 2009 1:52AM

Very cool coin.

Thanks for the chance.

jmj3esq · December 15, 2009 1:56AM

ponderit · December 15, 2009 3:58AM

What a cool design. I really do like the coin-in-coin idea!
Thanks!

shorecoll · December 15, 2009 5:03AM

Like the coin, especially the eagle...would look even better here

Delorean · December 15, 2009 5:16AM

A very unique and beautiful coin, Thanks!

Rickc300 · December 15, 2009 5:54AM

Cool looking round, I love the coin under magnification, this is the first I have seen a coin struck on anything. I have seen a stamp with the same stamp on an envelope with the same stamp etc...
Very neat, I would have to find the stamp to display with the round. Thanks for the chance!
