  I know it’s Wonder Woman, but I like it more than several of the recent depictions of Liberty! The obverse design in particular is very clean and aesthetically pleasing - no mottos and privy marks cluttering the fields.

  Among the other coins in the Comic Arts series, I feel that this one has the best design but I'm not sure I'm going to buy it.

  I'm sure it will look better in hand but these pics make it look so flat -- there's virtually no detail to the birds' chests and feet on the reverse.

  Ten years ago and without the absurd premium, I'd probably have been all over this series. Today, I can barely convince myself to get the silver. If gold ever becomes cheap again, I might consider it. By that time the premium on these will have likely dissipated.

  How many more comic coins are in the Mint pipeline? I can see a race to the bottom for the final mintage totals in this series.

  Agree, this WW design oozes Liberty. I'm all-in in for the Gold & 2.5oz Medal.
  The Obverse stars and every other stripe-(mirrored) of the flag in the background will really pop imo.
  The Earth in the background on the Reverse is a nice touch and saved it.

  It looks like 9 in total. Agree on the race.

  3 this year, and.....

  I like the design. I like the idea of the gold. I very much dislike the price.

  Now riding the swell in PM's and surf.

  Just a handful of U.S. coins depict the subject on both obverse and reverse.

  1.  1900 Lafayette Dollar – Marquis de Lafayette
  2.  1921 Missouri Centennial Half Dollar - Daniel Boone
  3.  1934-1938 Daniel Boone Bicentennial Half Dollar – Daniel Boone
  4.  1937 Roanoke Island Half Dollar – Sir Walter Raleigh
  5.  2003 First Flight Centennial Commemorative Dollar – Wright brothers

  The Batman coin also though right? Still a small list and it kinda makes it cool

  If you’re talking all “U.S. coins”, the Lincoln Memorial cents have Abe on both sides—though he’s a bit tiny on the reverse! He’s larger on the two 2009 bicentennial commemorative cents that feature Lincoln on the reverse

  Better artwork depicting WW than most of the mint's artwork on people's images.
  However, given the cost, I won't be in.
  Likely need to really love it as a collectible and to HAVE to have it, as I believe the prices will drop in the aftermarket in the years to come.
  If they go up, it will likely be like most of the 1st spouse gold coins...only due to value of the metals

  I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment

  Agree.

  When the Mint and DC announced the collaboration, they indicated that the plan was for a total of nine characters.
