Did you know that the 1794 Flowing Hair $1’s were produced from: “A single pair of dies accounts for all known examples of this date. Many examples show adjustment marks on one or both sides, where excess metal was filed from the planchet before striking. ”

In reply to CaliSkier.

IMO, the one agenda item of discussion that is of most importance, is the “ review and discussion of Flowing Hair gold coin and silver medal.”

US mint, please make this a true throwback, re-issue! Isn’t there any way to maintain those “Flowing Hair” design executions from “yester -year” without having to modernize or cleanup/sterilize by updating or rendering in “What You Think the Original Artist Intended”, if they had a CAD program to utilize?

Make them rustic (no artificial antiquing though) and maybe hand engrave the working dies, as the originals(?) had been? Wouldn’t it be better to have a re-issue/replica, that had a more comparable look and feel of the originals? Just saying…

With the technology we have, why can’t we go really “back”, closer to what was actually made or produced for the period? I know that no one said that sculpting, fabricating plaster molds, die production was supposed to be difficult, however when the Mint re-makes these Classic designs, using Modern technology, I feel as if we(consumer) or they(coin/medal) totally lose “something” with the US Mint’s efforts to refine or clean the look up???

Thoughts?

Some here may have an interest in what’s going on at or with the US Mint in November? November 28, the CCAC will meet and is offering a YT link which may prove entertaining to watch. On the agenda. (Federal Register)
“Review and discussion of reverse candidate designs for the 2025 American Innovation $1 Coins honoring innovations in Michigan and Arkansas; review and discussion of obverse and reverse candidate designs for the Army Rangers of World War II Congressional Gold Medal; review and discussion of reverse candidate designs for the 2025 Native American $1 coin; review and discussion of obverse and reverse candidate designs for a national medal to be used by the Los Angeles 2028 Summer Olympic Games as the “handover medallion” during the closing ceremony of the 2024 Paris Summer Olympic Games; and review and discussion of Flowing Hair gold coin and silver medal. Interested members of the public may either attend the meeting in person or watch the meeting live stream on YouTube at “

PS Kind of seems like short notice for those CCAC members needing to arrange for travel and lodging?

Oh Jeff, with that well story.. notice the person comments they probably get cancelled for talking. And there you have it. Seen an issue (the fact that even with wells, nobody can be bothered to maintain them, they break, run dry, what’s the solution deliver bottle water instead so we get more pfas) but nothing done to really address it. But it really is they were afraid to speak up because they knew they get cancel. Perhaps we set up a GoFundMe for this guy when he gets fired for commenting.

Crush metal, sell stock after cyber Monday, buy metals when market opens Tuesday morning. Or you can buy after all the Monday deals expire and get it from China. For some reason they are collecting all of it, so if we buy it from China it hurts their goal.
