Well crap, I hate they didn’t change the design of the ASE. Unfortuantly the bullion variety of the ASE is not worth much more than scrap value and a design change would have definitely, as RonnieBGood mentioned in his comment above, increase the value of the pre-2014’s and also the 2015’s. Now, we don’t have much more than a silver trade round in value. Maybe they will find a new design they like and approve it next time.

In reply to steve1942. Awww, you can do it. It's just one oz. of gold and whenever they release the coins they'll probably give plenty of time for everybody and their brother to save up and buy in.

I own the 2009 but doubt if my finances will allow me to continue the series. I must say, though, the redesigned eagle is beautiful. When all is said and done, I doubt that we will ever see it on the coin. Too bad, it is really nice.

Also in favor of this series.
It will not reduce the value of the 2009 UHR. It will increase it. The 2009 now becomes the 1st in the series. Get one now if you don’t have one.

So apparently the CCAC got enough heat about their redesign of the ASE that they changed their recommendation. Good for them, I guess they’re listening.

Sorry Saint-Gaudens but I like the new proposed eagle better than the original. Starting a new series of UHR releases every 5-6 years with a different reverse each release?

From a distance it looks to me like the face of Lady Liberty has some kind or robotic/alien origin mask already. That would definitely be a modern rendition.
