    I really like many of those designs. Many of them would look good in high relief!

    the design with the person holding out an open hand, palm facing upward, is perfect. Fits the description of many in the US today

    Absolutely speechless at the obverse designs shown in the link.

    Some of the reverse designs look OK.

    Amazing.

    I have mixed emotions, I think most of the Lady Liberty designs are awful but I really like most of the Eagle designs.

    The obverses are ALL terrible, but I like some of the reverse designs.

    Wow. Just wow.

    A couple are OK to me but a lot are not visually pleasing IMO. Some also have too much going on and the designs might get muddied up when struck.

    Not a fan of a alot of these... The mint needs to go through an overhaul I miss nice looking designs.

    I doubt this one sells 30,000 based on these designs. This is turning into the spouse series.
