Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty, or give me death! ~PATRICK HENRY~
Shriver looks like the crypt keeper from tales of the crypt. I think Arnold should have looked at his mother in law before he married Maria, she's starting to look just like her mother

You're right--I was noticing the same thing in a recent photo. My candidate for best "face" (after Lucy, of course!) is De Franciscis' lovely wife on the Peace Dollar.
<< <i>De Franciscis' lovely wife on the Peace Dollar
yah, she's a hottie! >>
Did you notice though that she looks exactly like the St. Gaudens Indian $10? >>
Until you mentioned it, I hadn't noticed--but you're right. A very similar profile--but, then again, I believe both designers were contemporaries, or at least were working in the same era--would hate to think that St. Gaudens ripped off another artist. Both designs are very attractive--but I still prefer the Peace Dollar.
Eunice Shriver, who, by the way, was standing on the podium at Gov. Schwartzennegger's swearing on on Monday for those of you eagle-eyed people who noticed here there. She was in back standing next to the old guy who was dancing some kind of a jig with his cane up there when the ceremony ended.
A face that only a mother could love.
Second choice is the raggedy-haired Liberty on the earliest cents or half cents with the Medusa hair-- I think it was the chain pattern on the back (not my area).

No one ripped anyone off here. Saint-Gaudens designed his eagle Liberty in 1907 and he died that year. De Francisci I think briefly studied under Saint-Gaudens but he based his Peace Dollar design on a profile of his wife who was only 21 at the time De Francisci was more than ten years older than his wife.). In 1907 when Saint-Gaudens designed the Eagle she would have only been seven years old and I doubt if Saint-Gaudens ever met her.

This coin makes the SBA look pretty.
