I like the original, the rays are individual and unique

1) The font used on the IGWT motto is all wrong. It is out of character with the rest of the coin as it looks like a computer generated font rather than a hand-engraved motto.
2) Likewise for the edge.

<< <i>Bleck, ugly coin as the facial features make it look like a guy dressed up as a gal.
Agreed, the facial features are not as elegant as they should be considering the overall design.
<< <i>Is it just me, or does it look like a ray is missing from the left side on the obverse? It looks like there is too much space between the last ray on the right and Ms. Liberty. Here's basically what I think it should look like. I think the design would look more whole with the addition of the ray. >>
There should be a ray there, but with more spacing than you allowed. Then it would be too close to the main device, no?

I'm not sure if I want one from the mint, or aftermarket slabbed by PCGS (For protection purposes, this one will go into the box of 20)...ahhh, that is if I get one.
Thanks for your input,
Ray
As much as you folks like the resurrection of these old designs I find them a bit awkward.
No doubt this will be a very popular piece but I'd much rather have the real thing.
