Some well worn women.

SkyMan

These women are commonly known as Lady Liberty. Picked these up several years ago while waiting between races at a swim meet my daughter was attending. There was a coin shop a couple of blocks from the pool and about a 2-3 hour wait between the races. It was a pleasant way to while away a little time. The images are by Bob Campbell, and I think he did an excellent job.

They all look like they had rough paper routes!

I almost posted a Susan B. Anthony, but then thought maybe follow suit like crazy 8's or UNO or somethin' like that.

I like that half dime.

I still think the Barber coinage device looks like a guy. Not that this woman is all that attractive:

BD, my Dad collected maritime stuff, predominantly from 1700 - 1900. One thing that I enjoyed doing while looking at his material was to see how the concept of female beauty changed over time. During the period 1810 - 30 the images of beautiful women closely mimicked what we now know as the Capped Bust Lady Liberty. Fun CBHD BTW.

Good observation Skyman... the perception of beauty changes over time... and even differs between cultures. Very remarkable. Cheers, RickO
