To me it looks like one of those 85 year old women who dye their hair black who actually think they are fooling anybody.

DAM---Why did you call her ugly? Was she wrong to fight for women's suffrage?

i'm not piling on, i intended to make my comment regardless of existing posts.
i watched a documentary about s.b.a. and e.c.s. and was simply blown away. that may be putting it mildly
yes we are talking coins and beauty and for me at a minimum 1/2 of her beauty was her/their potent soul(s) to stand before those that would assume
take her/them out back to the river and leave them there but they stood their ground and helped change another dreadful part of our country/history for
tens, perhaps hundreds of millions to come.
when i see a woman like that and know a bit about her worthiness as a human, it makes me ponder if i am worthy for her, not the other way around. not
to imply one need be a revolutionary to be worthy but it sure doesn't hurt, especially when their efforts are for human equality. while i don't enjoy most of
the busts on our coins as i like the seemingly abstract designs/motifs etc. of the past, once i learn a bit about them, it becomes readily apparent why it is
their face on the coinage and not abstract designs as much any more. there are some that need be honored and a lot for their relentless fight for human
rights. of course that is a deep subject with many facets.
2) Have we really reached a point where "intelligent" people feel it's more interesting to discuss a person's appearance
than what they achieved in life? It seems that we have.

<< <i>I never liked the coin.... period. Cheers, RickO >>
I like the reverse, which I think comes off looking better in the smaller format than it did on the Ike Dollar. As for the obverse, I'm with RickO.
That is the main reason, for me, at least, why the series was poorly designed.

Suffragette Elizabeth Cady Stanton is on the right.Unfortunately,Stanton won't be seen on the new $20's. ECS was disqualified for some unpopular remarks about how shabbily women were treated by men in the Holy Land. Sadly,even though she was speaking the truth,those remarks have come back to haunt her in 2015.

The one on the left or right?
As Lance said, it's not what you look like, it's what you did.
If it was about what you look like, we should swap FDR on the dime for Megan Fox or maybe Caitlyn Jenner?

put her in some old drab clothes with no make-up and her hair pulled back in a bun and they wouldn't look much better.
Dress Susie up, put on some make-up and lipstick and let her hair down and she would look as good as the average modern woman today

The photograph portrait is more attractive than the coin portrait.
Some people really seem to like the Gasparro Liberty Head concept. It looks like an abomination to me.
If the SBA coin portrait was closer to the photo portrait, I would then definitely say that the SBA was nicer than the Liberty coin would have been.
But the SBA coin portrait has that "Moby Dick" forehead

Don't give them any ideas. After the Baseball Hall of Fame commemoratives it wouldn't surprise me.

You mean she isn't 65?
