My pleasure, Sir Kaiser. I am going to pick one up also!

Allan,

No apologies necessary whatsoever. But, since ya asked…I think the medal is so iconic, it deserved center stage/more prominence. I’m focusing on the dollar. The left side was too busy for me.

The flip side is ok I guess. It’s really difficult to rep a purple heart, but it seemed too cartoony for me. I understand these were renderings & maybe actual coin pics will change my mind, but the one represented didn’t make me think ‘I want’. Hopefully, that’s better than meh?

Regardless, hope ya score & are happy. That’s what this biz is all aboot to me anyway

Kaiser,

I agree that the colorized silver is the obvious choice as a collectible, just like the Negro Leagues privy, and I believe it will sell out. But, I think it will also be just like the Negro Leagues privy as far as not being hard to get during the initial HHOL of 1 window.

& I’d like to stress that as a great thing! No one wants the nonsense of 2021 ordering again.

Just thinking about my comment. If you like something say so and if you don’t say so. These threads are for coin collectors and every opinion is respected. Sorry if I sounded a bit opinionated.

Phil,

I agree, don’t buy something if you don’t like it. And my thought, if you could say more than ‘yawn’ or ‘meh’ as to why you don’t like the design. Perhaps the mint might get the message and do better in future releases. As far as rarity, the colorized silver dollar in this series has a limit of 25K. Since this coin is an homage to the Purple Heart medal, my best guess is, it will be collectible.

Allan,

Ya nailed it! I would think those of which you mentioned would be high on these coins. I agree with Domenic however, that the designs are meh. But…I also agree with Kaiser that what I think looks cool, someone else would say ‘blech’

Unless the mint is gonna manufacture a rarity again, I’m of the opinion it won’t be difficult to score any of these.

I would like to add a sentimental value to this series too. Those who have family members or have themselves earned this medal. Some of them posthumously.

I think I may have answered my own question / may have figured it out … for the proof version anyway. They may just use the “deep cameo” effect with the flat mirror-like field. At most (some) angles it’ll produce a dark shadow effect.
