It's on Fire

I've never seen this PMD before, but it's kind of interesting

'Burning Woman' Liberty?

It's well executed and buyers do pay a premium for them. I sorta find it attractive, jmo.

I kinda like the looks of it myself

LindeDad · August 30, 2015 12:02AM

Another type of painted Eagle to me.
Never have cared for them. Trying to make something common, seem rare is just a gimmick to me.

Gack!

Looks more like a burning flag to me, not sure how anyone thought this was a good idea, or why anyone would pay for it.

It's a metaphor. The coin is literally a metaphor.

Mintage 1,000.

Kind of neat. I like the reverse and think it would be cool to own one with the obverse looking just like the reverse.

I like it. To me it represents Liberty walking confidently through the flames, unscathed.

I don't get it. Nor do I get their burning panda or burning maple leaf.

A meaningless gimmick.

If it was a one of a kind.
If it has interesting luster beneath.
If the reverse is really that startling dark.
Then I could kind of see it. Almost.

But it still veers very close to a colorized coin.

Bringing upwards of $100 each on eBay.

I kind of like it.

(1) Lady Liberty and the flag itself are not burning. They are going through the flames unscathed.
(2) The fire can represent the forest fires that are growing in intensity every year that many Americans live through.
(3) The black reverse can represent the charred land and homes after a fire has swept through an area.
(4) The fact that US and China coins are done can represent that the two countries are responsible for the most carbon emissions. Canada can be justified because they committed to reduce emissions by 6% but actually increased emissions by 24%.

It seems like beyond the simple cool fire aspect, the coins can represent signs of our times.

looks like someone is trying to capitalize on "The Hunger Games" theme

I wouldn't pay a big premium for it.

It has little to no investment potential.

Otherwise, I find it interesting and artistc, as I've never seen one before.

For example, if someone gave it to me as a gift, etc. I'd likely keep it.

The reverse reminds me of those silver 'eagles' that were struck on sandpaper discs.

Now this is a cool looking burning coin:
