    Having looked at the designs for the various denominations ... awful, just plain awful. The vast majority suffer from being far too "busy" and some just look like high school art contest submissions.

    That one that @ManifestDestiny posted above is probably the worst of them all, however this one is quite near it. It looks like the child is learning black magic or something.

    It seems like all the different representations of liberty are all angry or vengeful looking, not like liberty should. I also hate that most of the designs have such flat surfaces, the way they did it before modern technology produced much more luster and texture that is lost when the fields and sometimes the raised designs are perfectly flat. I've said enough, modern designs suck.

    Looks like there's some Alphonse Mucha inspired stuff also, which I like, but not for this program.

    There are a couple of attractive renditions of Liberty. Less stern.

    Time to find the modern St. Gaudens. These designs are poor.

    I'd love some more undulations in the fields as opposed to the flat of moderns.

    Many happy BST transactions

    As predicted…. they’re going to eff this up. And why do so many of the women on the Declaration of Independence quarters have prostitute faces?

    Someone said it was all about the Benjamin's. Now, it's all about the ineptitude. Some of those designs were rejects from the proposed 2025 Liberty gold with minor tweets. 18th and 19th century art inspired people, this......I have no idea. Except maybe malice and discontent.

    We hold these designs to be self evident. Happy Semiquincentennial.

    Why couldn't they do a clad Mercury dime?

    Use all the obverses and reverses in random combinations. Collect them all.

    That would actually be quite interesting, as you wouldn't know which ones are going to be rarer than the others.

    Once again we are being offered designs that look good in pencil sketches. Might be OK in proof. And will look terrible in circulation quality.

    We have the tools to be able to produce realistic examples prior to being struck using 3D Printing in metal. Let's start using it and leave the buggy whips on the shelf.

    A lot of not-so-great designs. I like the concept of flowing hair and thought it harkened back nicely to the first coins issued by the Mint.

    Im sure everyone here is glad that the design of the dime is changing, which is first since 1946. Im hoping that they will find a different circulating dime for all the coins going forward. This is a great opportunity to revise everything!
