Yes, I finally broke down and pulled the trigger. Lol.
Couldn't resist I guess? :)

    Huh... I hadn't really paid attention to the reverse change..

    The new one is SWEET.

    Why didn’t you get one of the proofs. Hasn’t really been all that hard🤓. Just curious. It’s a nice coin

    Kinda strange?
    Speaking of where normally the Mint mark would be. Under,"In God We Trust ". From afar, it looks to be a "W", but close up, it's the famous designer initials. AW. Adolph Weinman :*

    Weinman would probably be very unhappy with what they have done with his obverse design. It lacks the impact of the 1916 original and really just looks like the copy that it is.

    All glory is fleeting.

    I like the new reverse Joey (actually, I am one who never liked the original reverse that much). The new lettering is a little too "font-like" for my taste, but the eagle design is attractive. Thanks for sharing!

    I really like that new reverse. It's so much better than the old one in my opinion.

    Type 2 reverse is a huge deal on ASEs. First change since 1986 release. Also check out the 100th anniversary release of Morgan/Peace dollars. Next drop is Tuesday.
