    I agree that the design never fails to deliver.

    I don't have a coin to post but I'd like to say that it's certainly in my top 5 designs for US coins (circulating or commems).

    It's so symbolic, and if you think about it, you have two sides represented here quite literally. The obverse with the Native American wanting the emigration to stop so he can continue living as he always has, and the reverse, the pioneers, coming anyway, fulfilling the idea of manifest destiny.

    A beautiful coin, executed in a symbolic way without taking sides (pun intended).

    Mine ain't as purdy as the others here, but I'll guarantee you it cost me a whole lot less.



    In fact, I'm not even into it for face value.



    All it cost me was about twenty seconds of kneeling and digging while detecting in a vacant lot in a small north Georgia town, where an old house had supposedly burnt down in the 1950s. image

    I would think that the Wagon side would be the obverse since it has the date and the Indian side would be the reverse because of the denomination. I have been wrong before.

    A 26-P with color is another set rarity... I would have given up a baby toe for a example like this 25 years ago.

    Although the Fraziers, as well as most collectors consider the Indian the Obverse, the US Mint has always considered the wagon side the Obverse.
