I'm liking the possible fractional American Liberty Gold Coin for 2018 discussion.

Comments
Thanks for the notice.
But what about the 2018 WW1 silver dollar ?
The US Mint held a design competition for it last year. But there has yet to be any images released, even though the winning design was apparently selected months ago.
Are you submitting a design Dan?

I did, last year.
I already know that I didn't win.
The US Mint was supposed to release images of the final design in February.
But they still have not.
Will you strike and offer your design, similar to your Baseball commem?
Design selection by committee....
I guess it takes the heat off the top guy. Results are almost always watered down and PC. I just do not agree with committees for everything - delegating responsibility is a cop out. JMO..... Cheers, RickO
I guess it depends on how big the committee is. How about 2 committee members and a finalizer like the PCGS graders.
I already did strike some. I was waiting for the US Mint to release their final design before I offered any.
I have not released any images of my design, and I don't plan to until the US Mint does.
I have kept track of my mintages, however (see second section from top):

@Goldbully ..... How about the Director chooses an artist, the artist submits design(s) and the Director chooses. Done!! Cheers, RickO
Sounds like a great solution RickO.
