What modern coin do you think didn't receive the praise you think it should have?
I'm going with the 2012 Native American dollar.

Just ordered a proof version of that Native American. Really like the design.
How about this one? Don't own it, but I think the design was well done.
I am a big fan of the bi metal look.

The plat eagles do have very nice reverse designs.
@Coinstartled They really do. I wish they were cheaper, though.
The 2009 Ultra High Relief - a modern retro design.
While many moderns may be underappreciated, I'm not sure the UHR is one of those. If the UHR is underappreciated, other moderns have no chance
Yes, I agree. But it is the obverse that has always prevented me from collecting these.
Good point. At least the re sales are strong.
One of my favorite designs is the 98 Plat bullion
Easily the best design for a circulation coin since the walker was ended.

In 1982, this was the 1st commemorative since 1950's and 1st 90% silver since 1964.
And with high mintage (over 2 million), they're cheap & widely available.

I just noticed the "T&Co." on the coin. Can I assume they designed it? Nice looking coin with nice cleavage.
Are there any other US coins that show company names on the design besides this one and the Liberty bell on the Franklin half dollar which shows "Pass and Stowe" who cast the Liberty bell?
