I LOVE WOMEN. I love the woman's movement too. There have been many beautiful coins graced with their images. My favorite is the 1907 $20 EXHR. Unfortunately, I don't have one to photograph. What is your favorite.

    I thought the minion was one thing. Then, I was convinced it was the other and I was in error so I apologized. Then, I was accused of hating women. Androgynous?

    Anyway, let's be cool and keep my thread on track.

    These coins, especially the 21, are beautiful BUT only in frosty white Uncirculated. Barber Halves are the same. IMO, the woman's design is not as pretty; yet a gem Uncirculated Barber is gorgeous.

    YOU DESERVE A BIG FAT "DISAGREE" FOR THIS but I rarely give them. I'll bet you regret posting one of the most unattractive devices ever put on a coin! Have you ever seen what Cleopatra looks like on an ancient coin?

    Opps! I just got one before you did. :smiley:

    Watching you derail your own thread that you made to try and refute your casual and deleterious misogyny is hilarious.

    Forgot all about Victoria's Crowns. This design may be one of the top three ever of a shoulders-up image.
    British Trade dollars may give my HR a little competition for full length views.

    In the PBS show "Victoria" the actress looked similar and the hairstyle looked identical.

    What's "funny" about the design? It features the bust of the founder of the Special Olympics and was the first US coin to feature a living woman.

    I don't see anything to poke fun at.

    It is. It's a "joke" because she's an elderly woman they don't find attractive. Haha, funny, right?

    The only members who could have taken offense or even thought anything other than that are young, and propagandized into the political correct BS taught in our educational system. It is a darn shame you even thought you needed to add this comment here to CYA and appease the little idiots who spend their time trying to find an excuse to complain about something. On second thought, it may have been a really good idea as some of those folks may have joined CU. :wink::wink:

    Well, I guess. I don't see what the fuss is. The pic shows EKS from another view, same hairstyle, etc. No big deal. It's the way it was. Not sure about jokes, appearances, etc.

    Retired dealer and avid collector of U.S. type coins, 19th century presidential campaign medalets and selected medals. In recent years I have been working on a set of British coins - at least one coin from each king or queen who issued pieces that are collectible. I am also collecting at least one coin for each Roman emperor from Julius Caesar to ... ?

    The Plat proofs have had some remarkable depictions of Lady Liberty in recent years. Here are three I've particularly liked:

    @dpoole posted: "Never ascribe to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity." -- Robert J. Hanlon

    That's a great quote. It's fitting when reversed also.

    Thanks for posting, I've never seen any of these three coins before - either an image or the actual coin. We still have some artists producing our coins. Do you know if these were done by mint engravers or outside contractors in a contest?
