Has a decision been made regarding which of the two reverses the U.S. Mint will use for next months release?

AEP2, 3 and 4, looks like Liberty is standing on the edge of the slippery slope ready to slide off the cliff. Maybe a statement about our times?

These are design candidates, not the final product. You won’t find any W mint mark on these either and you can bet there’ll be one on the final product so they’ll probably sneak in a privy mark somewhere too.

These preferred designs omit any eagle image or privy mark for a first in the entire series. I was under the impression that some sort of “eagle” was required.

Personally I’m getting tired of all the reminders of the original 13 stars. That’s why I side with the Commission of Fine Arts choice and their modification.

In AEP-03 you have Lady Liberty with the meshed gears of industry so it’s more about that once great innovative spirit that America had. Producing the wealth that made America great, that made America the prosperous and self reliant nation that promoted the General Welfare through the jobs that industry created. So what’s Lady Liberty doing she’s looking for that once great creativity that has been outsourced to India, Malaysia, Mexico, and China. If this country doesn’t create it will starve on a service based economy that’s dependent on an inflated mass produced dollar that’s not worth 1/10 the paper it’s printed on. Maybe AEP=03 is just a reminder of how great and true the General Welfare was.

?? “The circular star motif of Europe” ??
I guess the Continental Congress borrowed it from the European Union back in 1777. It only took some time travel or a bit of remote viewing…

You can’t blame me for making this political. I like the simplicity of 002. Liberty always promotes the general welfare as it improves and simplifies our lives. It has a classic feel and no clutter.

Of course if you really want a bankable investment in Platinum theirs(?) is an extra $1100 more and only 250 mintage.

Jim, If it were truly nebulous (unclear or vague), then forget impression on the reverse, just a proof back ground with a simple phrase:

BUY ME
I’M WORTH IT
