This story is now in the news including obverse and reverse designs. Is it actually a coin they are proposing or is it really a medal?

The illustration shown in a USA Today article online shows "$1" superimposed in black over what appears to be a coin design without a denomination.

All glory is fleeting.

    "The Treasury Department is considering producing a one-dollar coin featuring President Donald Trump to commemorate the 250th anniversary of U.S. independence next year".... May not happen unless some laws get changed.

    I'm not sure any of that artwork is official.

    That's under the Presidential dollar coin legislation....

    If a DT coin were to be issued next year (and I am skeptical it will happen) it would be under the legislation that authorized the Secretary of the Treasury to issue coins for the 250th anniversary.

    Go back to lady liberty on our coins, they were the last decent designs in my mind. Hasn't been a decent design since the WLH.

    Why should it be closed? This is a coin-related thread is it not?

    "Two things are infinite: human stupidity and the universe; and I'm not sure about the universe."
    -Albert Einstein-

    Mistakes are natural. But repeated mistakes without reflection are something else. That may be the “stupidity” he was referring to. In research, he admitted uncertainty openly. “If we knew what it was we were doing, it would not be called research, would it?” This shows humility. Even a Nobel laureate accepted doubt. That humility makes the quote less cynical and more observational.

    There is no denomination on it because it would be worthless rubbish.

    Fitting that the $1 looks like black Sharpie

    How about a coin honoring the 250th anniversary of the Battle of Fort LaGuardia, where General George Washington captured the British airfield?

    no wonder it needed an upgrade

    So far as the Murray quarter goes I think the design is quite original and like it.

    Why? It looks like she's either in Jail looking out or outside looking at people in Jail!

    Between this coin and the 2017 lady liberty coin, I can see a scenario where going forward after Trump is no longer President there are no longer any people, whether it’s dead presidents or lady liberty on a coin. I can easily see a situation like the more recent American Liberty coins where we have horses and sunflowers symbolizing liberty and eagle reverses in lieu of portraying any person whether real or allegorical.

    Either way I saw Trump being portrayed on a coin coming the moment he won the Presidency in 2016. If this didn’t happen, then something else would’ve that would’ve been a more fervent push than the push to put Reagan on the dime.

    People shouldn't be on coins or bills, but it is way too late for that. Who the is Pauli Murray other than some political statement just like the rest.

    I think PCGS should create a whole other category for political coins and medals. This would help to eliminate the politics in the US Coin category. JMO
