    Love that one every since i saw the olympics post in the us coin forum. I'd like to get one but all the ones I've seen have been too pricey. Of corse, not the best time to buy one right now lol

    Fellas, leave the tight pants to the ladies. If I can count the coins in your pockets you better use them to call a tailor. Stay thirsty my friends......

    The OP asked about "your favorite modern coin design". Are the UHR and the Indian/buffao designs truly modern designs or are they copies of century old designs?

    Ditto, I'm going with the Olympics design. Always been a fan of the rings.

    Good point. Anyhow, I think the UHR is one the most beautiful coin ever minted.
    And I love the gold buffalo too.

    When does the modern era starts for you americans?! image j/k

    I am a part of the "huddled masses" and, luckily, still a tourist! So I had to pick Lady Liberty.

    The 1907 high relief it was modeled after is twice as beautiful. If you ever get a chance to see a high grade one in hand, you will agree.

    I have seen them, not in hand but close enough. I partially agree with you derryb, I say partially because the UHR has a better condition and smoother edges. It just appears nicer to me. (I am not taking the history of the 1907 into consideration of course).
    Another reason is that I can own a UHR! (like the fox that dislikes the grapes because she's not able to get them)

    UHR is a more "perfect" coin thanks to technology. Which is why I prefer the beauty of the 1907 HR.

    I like the original UHR coin, the new one is the size of an eagle, not a double eagle. That said, I love both coins!

    That's what I meant. I'd choose the 1907 of course but the 2009 is better
    looking, imo.

    I only have pics (obviously) but if I remember correctly, the size of the original 1907 is smaller than a double eagle.

    Admission to the Smithsonian Museum is free, and they have a great HR on display in addition to the 1933 image

    Here's another modern design that I love ...
