    I'm all for this as long as there are enough idiots to sell this hideous monstrosity to at 2x the retail price

    Interesting article. CFA vs. CCAC grudge match.

    They want the bigger design as well. Agreed, I dont think it'll fly. We shall see

    There's already too many gold coin releases for this year. Hard to get all of them.

    Coin to be offered in 'Yuge' and "Awesome" sizes.

    3 inch gold?! At minimum that’s going to be about 3 ounces and relatively thin.

    The half length portrait is unusual for a coin. I can’t recall too many US coins like that.

    I am opposed to having a sitting president on a coin, however the design is not bad.

    I thought there was some law about living persons appearing on U.S. coins. Or is that just for circulating coins?

    I'm against having any living people (not just current officials) on coins. That aside, that particular depiction of Trump does not seem good for a coin, and I'm not a fan of such large contiguous areas being empty (as on this reverse).

    If they were to issue a 0.999 fine gold coin with the same diameter and thickness then it would weigh approximately 9.2 troy ounces.

    I think the empty space is where the denomination would appear.

    Duplicate thread. This topic was already posted earlier:

    Replacing "larger" with "more bigly" in the item description would be apropos.

    Or "big league". but sure, we can go with the intentional "misunderstanding" if it makes some people feel better.

    This should encourage the collecting of Susan B. Anthony Dollars, since they will no longer be the ugliest U.S. coin ever issued.

    I almost missed your post because you didn't use BOLD CAPITAL LETTERS and an excessive amount of exclamation points!!!!

    Maybe your time would be better served typing up a pamphlet on the '69 floating roof and L on the rim cents.

    Just remember...the advice you receive on the site is worth every bit of what you paid for it.

    $4547 would be more likely.

    How about $8647?

    You should edit that, and then I'll edit the quote.

    For the 1976 bicentennial the US Mint issued this 3-inch gold medal in 90% for $4,000. If they did one of this size in .999 gold with their pricing grid, maybe asking around $80,000? My guess if they actually mint this, they might try to go with 10 ounces.

    I have this 3-inch gold medal, but it is a much different design than now proposed.


    I noticed that doesn’t say Gold anywhere on the actual medal. If someone happened to find that loose among some stuff while cleaning out, they might have no idea it was gold and throw it in a junk box and sell it for $5 at a flea market or yard sale. Now that would be quite a find.

    It will be interesting to see what our hosts think of individuals using their forum to make death threats against the President.

    ...or a publisher.

    Politics aside, legality aside, the one thing people are over looking is when a figure is placed on a coin it is to recognize, honor and memorialize the individual for lifetime achievements which shaped society for the better.

    Between this and the proposed $1 coin it is a living individual looking to recognize and honor themself.

    So Coolidge was being honored? I'm 100%: sure that was NOT the point of the sesquicentennial half. Same with the Alabama governors.

    Funny how there are numerous incidents in the recent past where the term was simply used for impeachment, firing, or removal from service.

    Well, I for one doubt that I will be flipping a 5 ounce gold coin on EBay, no matter what they put on it. :D
