<< <i>I like them, with the exception of the HUGE NOSE on Harrison. My GOD that is a SUPER SCHNOZ >>
When he wakes up he can smell the coffee in COLUMBIA.
James Polk looks like he dressed like Count Dracula year round. lol
I was a Monkey
Harrison and Taylor will be difficult just to get MS67's as the designs are sharp, short areas which will generate tons of die chips!
The name is LEE!
But, for some reason, when I scroll down and look at Lincoln sitting on a log reading a book, I cannot get an image of Yahoo Serious out of my mind.
Or is it Kramer from Seinfeld?
<< <i>Admitting you are wrong is the first step. We are here for you. Do you want to talk about it?
I screwed up, wasn't thinking!!! Thanks for being there!!!!!
It almost appears as if we have deified the presidency, since the IGWT motto next to the president's chronological number, resembles, in a way, European coins with monarchs on them containing mottoes that say "By the Grace of God, (Queen/King) ..."
I agree with Becoka, the rendered designs are good, however it seems something gets lost in the translation (tranfer) to metal.
<< <i>Moving the In God We Trust (IGWT) motto off the edge and onto the obverse sure is hokey looking.

Agree, that looks terrible. Somewhere on the reverse would be better -- of course I did not have a problem with the edge.
60 years into this hobby and I'm still working on my Lincoln set!
<< <i>I assume the William Henry Harrison will be available for only 30 days? >>
LOL, no doubt using a special "die".
<< <i>None of them even vaguely resemble art, just more dead guys making our currency even more boring. Cheers, RickO >>
Agreed, but the good news is you won't run across any of them very often in commerce...
I think it's cool that dudes with bed-head hair could make it all the way to the presidency!
Interesting similarities with the last three presidents...in the semi-profile, 3/4, and full view of face.
And one looks a little GW-ish...guess which one?

I think my idea would have worked better:
<< <i>Four presidents in nine years...that must have been unsettling for the country.

Wow, you are right, renman!!!
<< <i>I like them, with the exception of the HUGE NOSE on Harrison. My GOD that is a SUPER SCHNOZ >>
Hey, thank God air is free!!!
edited to add: I wouldn't buy this coin with your money!!!!
MY GOD WHAT A BEAK
Otherwise, I kind of like where the motto is. This could be a cool year for the small dollar. I have yet to see the new SAC design.
