I don't get it. Why are we dating a coin 1907? Why not just date the thing 2026, or MMXXVI, then skip the stupid privy mark.
Also that second one's reverse looks like bad AI art rendered in coin form, the obverse is pretty decent though.

Pass.
Is that a bi-plane silver eagle? The silver looks like it should be a generic round not a 250th anniversary piece. Pass.
Pass as well
Giant yawn.
flat fields?
i hope they aren't stackable
Gack!!!!!
I think this obverse is actually quite good. might need a little refinement but over all, I like it.

That silver piece might look halfway decent as a reverse proof

What happened to In God We Trust?
It's hard to trust anyone these days.

I wasnt sure if they were mirroring the 1907 strikes before they put the motto on or not.
I'm sure they are. It was just a joke

The silver design would have made a better choice for the 2027 gold American Liberty $100 than the one with the hallucinogenic lettering that our CCAC guy posted recently.

Totally agree. While it may be an interesting idea to have the eagle’s wings morph into American flags, I can’t imagine a less inspiring implementation.
Totally agree. I thought it was a nice idea, but poorly executed. Probably would have looked better if it blended from feathers into the flag. Currently looks like the eagle is sitting under an oversized helmet like Marvin the Martian.

The privey mark is so distracting. They've WAY overdone privey marks.
They create a feeding frenzy by buyers, just like they did for a select few of the classic commemoratives did back in their day (Grant with star silver half & gold dollar, Alabama 2x2 half anyone?)

The silver version is so over the top tacky I might just get it for camp value
I thought that they were cool w the V75s. I wish they would have stopped there. It has just gotten so overdone. In this particular instance, it really just kills the design, which is so magnificent because of how clean & elegant it is.
One possible exception may be the military anniversary ASEs. It's a very well established & popular set & this does make for some interesting additions.
It seems that now all these ridiculous privy marks are just another annoying marketing tool. I think they add nothing to any of these coins in most cases.
The silver one is just awful.
it appears to be an eagle transitioning.
Is it just me or does the silver Liberty look like Barbie Benton?
I can't wait to see the Playboy bunny privy!!!!!!

You joke. Could be next!

But, only 1926 (Hugh Hefner birth year) will have the privy. All auctioned off by Stacks. 1st produced will be presented to the winner of the auction by a Playboy bunny w cancelled dies.
Yuck, hard pass.
