Or possibly a Freddie mercury dime. Can include with lady liberty, black liberty chick, morgan. The fat bottom girls

Again, could be a “baked” bean

New England. Hmmm. Maybe cool if they made a copper clam shell coin with a hinge and inside a silver coin in the shape of a Boston baked bean.

Sweet and simple that even the gubmint would get right.. obverse a simple $1 and reverse, just says united states 2023.

Or something cool like, suck it putin

Since hemp was a huge cash crop and propped up England’s navy as sail material, perhaps a tip of the hat to a an awesome weed coin. Or tobacco, or cotton. Of all the uses for peanuts George Washington carver came up with, peanut butter was not one. Also it’d be really cool if his name was George pumpkin carver.

It would be easy enough. How could the Mint mess up on this one? And don’t call me Shirley. 🙂

I hit post before I added the image referred to, the New England Shilling. Surely the Mint can produce them without making a mess of it. And, apologies for calling the Mint Shirley.

Oh come on. Can you imagine what a reproduction to current standards would look like? The Mint needs something more simple, easier to reproduce.

I heartily agree with you. A truly beautiful coin. It was very unfortunate it was retired and replaced by the unimaginative Franklin Half Dollar. I believe the Mint realized the error and was quick to replace it with the Kennedy Half Dollar.
Here’s an idea, a set with some of the most beautiful and liked coins minted, i.e., Buffalo Nickel, “Mercury” Dime, (maybe) Standing Liberty Quarter, Walking Liberty Half Dollar, we already have Morgan and Peace Dollars, and the gold coins from 1907 and 1908. Just a thought.

Put the mercury dime in a thermometer and commemorate all the new high temps breaking records. You know. Global warming. To be fair, global warming began every time an ice age ended. Crazy yo
