Morn’n Mike, it’s coming up on a year since the committee’s recommended design selection, any thoughts when the Treasurer may make the decision or when the mint may release the decision?

I thought we’d hear something by now and didn’t know if it would be announced in concert with the next CACC meeting or just arbitrarily through a press release.

Also I thought 2015 was supposed to start a new theme series for the APE though these designs seem not to support a single theme. Thanks!

AEP-R-01, 10, 26, 27, 31 are stomach turningly PC…. in a way appropriate considering what this country has become. Only 17 had any unique character, no wonder it was rejected, and the excuse about the die is laughable.

The only one I like is the one they pulled… finally a design that is a little different and not the same old same old. The design doesn’t even need a some lame interpretation. Like Tinto, I don’t buy the Mints excuse either.

I don’t like any of them. I think is time to explore something totally new.

I like AEP-R-17 different and bold I thought ….. I don’t buy the Mint excuse for withdrawing it due to hardness of platinum … why didn’t the Mint determine that BEFORE accepting or submitting the design for consideration in the first place … seems like a microcosm of the way the Mint functions … or dysfunctions ….

6, 7, 9 & 19 are the best.

Interesting that each design needs a description or interpretation of what the image is. Too bad they can’t come up with an image that is self explanatory and doesn’t require a story behind it to justify why it should be used.

Richard – you’re right – except for circulating coins the general public probably doesn’t even know what other coins the US Mint makes.

Very beautiful designs. It’s too bad most Americans will never see even the ones that are used.
