How about a coin honoring the 250th anniversary of the Battle of Fort LaGuardia, where General George Washington captured the British airfield?
@NewEnglandNotes said:
Do we know if the 250th Dollar is going to be large silver or small Sacajawea type?
The authorization specifies "circulating coinage", so it would be a golden dollar.

Good info. I would have taken the bet Biden on a dollar first.
If 2026 results in this coin and is golden then at a future date there will be a second Trump coin under Presidential under current Presidential $1 legislation.
Before wading in, here’s a question for everyone. When you’re walking down the sidewalk and find a pile of 💩, do you walk around it, or wallow in it for a while?

Actually a 3rd coin. Trump will get two like Grover Cleveland because of non consecutive terms.

I would go to an opposing rally find a suitable participant on the other side of the heaping pile of 💩. I would call them over and watch them step in it..

A coin to honor someone that hates the Constitution, the rule of law and half the country that doesn’t worship him. I find this beyond disgusting and an insult to the country I served proudly for over 20 years. I hope this thread is closed.
You may get "closed" along with it.

Always interesting that this forum apparently isn’t monitored at all on the weekend. Some serious animosities could develop over 2+ days. I’ve lost at least one close friend over internet posts. Best to air differences in person and privately. IMO.

We've ALL been set up here, don't talk politics and along comes a 100% political coin. This is one coin we are not allowed to discuss. Unless you keep within the proper boundaries, only talk about it's design, it's mintage, it's sellout potential, not about the man on the coin, not his ethics, not his performance, not his weight, not his hair...unless his hair is accented...
All joking aside, this thread is primed to be shut down. I'm glad I got to read it and agree with > @Some_of_it said:
I have been looking for the right time to stop collecting modern commemorative coins. Such a loss leader. Enter 2026.

Can't be that. It's the same thing the Pilgrims drank.

As people generally say, subjects concerning politics, money, sex and religion are to be avoided as they tend toward divisiveness in polite company. In terms of aesthetics, this would be up there with the Susan B. Anthony coin.
I think the Susan B. Anthony dollar is a great design. The Susan B dollar is a splendid example of the minter's art. Are you saying indirectly that the Susan B dollar is aesthetically deficient to you? If so, in what way or ways does the Susan B dollar displease you? I'm just looking for clarification of what you mean re: aesthetics, by "up there with the Susan B Anthony coin."
I remember a thread a long time ago now, asking who was the ugliest person on a coin. It came down to Susan B Anthony and Rosemary Kennedy (on the Special Olympics coin). I remember someone commenting that it wasnt that Susan B Anthony was ugly, its just that she looked like the witch in the Wizard of Oz. Still today if you search for the "images: ugliest US coin", invariably its Susie who comes up on the search.
Outrageous !!

Legality and politics aside, I'd like to just comment on the design as it is, for which the obverse is clearly uninspired and a plagiarism of the Kennedy Half Dollar. I'd have to wonder if there would be an Accented Hair variety. I do not see anything on the reverse that is emblematic of the nation's 250th anniversary. That part of the design should be saved for some miraculous future should the public some day unanimously support the individual due to some unforeseen circumstance, however unlikely that may be at this moment.
In regards to the metal content, it is clear that an appropriately sized gold coin would not sell. Given the individual's attitude towards himself, a silver coin might only make sales if presented with gold leaf overlays, however we are not Canada.
I think there is an extreme likelihood that patterns will be made but not actual coinage. What is the congressional requirement to have a coin approved beyond pattern stage?

He is such a classic narcissist, and this fits right in.
Coins are supposed to be about the nation, not promoting someone who is alive.
Well, in Canada they've called their golden dollar the Loonie, so...

i just want to say i think this thread will be deleted.
anyone else think so?
