i would like nothing better for our Gov* along with our mint* to produce coins & medals related to the history to our country*, their has been so many lost opportunities over the years. Unfortunately politics gets in the way to do the right things, me* only* as far as coins and medals go, most of but not all are afraid to piss each other off because of putting them self*s in jeopardy, it seems to me* its an all time high. As far as our mint* making a profit on what they sell, i would hope so, no one i would think does not want to lose money$$$, just as long as they put our money$$ to good use, & that they set the price of our coins & medals within fair reason, which i sea* they always don’t do, most of them more than likely shop at Lord & Taylor & pay top dollar so they sea* no reason we should pay that much when the same items are a lot cheaper in another neighborhood. just ask Mr. Rogers he,ll tell ya with a song.

In reply to Joe Brown.

All your points are well-taken…if people feel comforted or encouraged by owning these coins, great. You could just make a donation to the ACS…The us mint makes money on these as well…it’s a sensitive issue so I hope the program succeeds…For my part as a collector I think the Congress/ Mint should stick with topics on important people, places and events in American history for their commemorative program…societal issues and concerns could be a slippery slope in the future…thanks for your best wishes

JAN M FOX – Hi*, yes there is a good amount of public awareness in the USA* from all our major sports teams all the way down to our youth sports every year, & there are others beside sports. It would really be nice tho, if all those coins sell out. Nine Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars of our money would go to the Breast Caner Research Foundation, & it very well could happen sea*in that its a first coin of this type for our mint*. yes their is so many caners out there that do not get the public notice as this one, but if they ever find a break though cure, i’m sure it will lead to other types of cures because of that one*+*.

I have the highest regard for the disease of cancer in BOTH sexes ( I am a prostate cancer survivor)…but there is a tremendous amount of public awareness to this in particular…. do we need a coin to publicize it?

The US Mint should talk to Ottawa to see how to add some color to the butterfly. It’s a black and white picture in a color world.

nice job on the girls faces it really captures what one woman went though, of all her pain and suffering & being grateful she is a survivor, & the other woman with her right arm raised with a fist of victory in the fight for her life, well done. I remember watching that butterfly hatch it self downtown at the children’s museum one early Saturday afternoon everyone else was watching to sea a snake eat the mouse for lunch except for me and a little girl, i pointed out to the girl what was going to happen, she let out a kerrdilling scream to her mom holding a new baby & her brother and sister, we got swarmed everyone was pushing & shoving to get a view of the small xzibit one kid got a sharp left elbow to his gut trying to shove me out of my front & center veiw, ouch. that was a gift i know. Congrat,s to our mint for coming into the 21st centery, it’;s going to be 85% gold,unlike our *AGE* coin that,s 92% gold, is that to make room for the pink infusion? that why the 85% gold and not your averidge 92% gold, or can it be done to 92% or 24k gold coins?

Google the connection between breast cancer and butterflies, spec. monarch ones, and the design will make more sense. I think it’s a good design overall, but I am not ecstatic about it. I think the French 2 euro on the same theme is better.
