Are people really spending $47 (plus shipping, of course) for a clad half dollar coin? Maybe there are more folks that have trouble with math than we know, $50 for .50c…no thanks.

Absolutely. The computer renders look bad, I can only imagine how convoluted a pressed coin will look.

But that 50c Liberty is amazing. Reminds me of Sigourney Weaver in Aliens.

Lady Liberty is about to kick ass.

The 50c is the best design. Gold is meh and for $3,000 an Oz.I gotta pass. Maybe the HT gold BU another low mintage wonder <1000???

Even though I’m primarily a collector of precious metal proofs, I still think I like the half-dollar design the most. The dollar is too busy and the gold is as you described – “sort of lame.”

I like the designs overall. The gold coin is sort of lame. Normally I would purchase these coins but the commemorative coins secondary market shows no love to commemorative coins. Thus I may pick some in a few years when the buzz wears off.

In reply to c_q. Sadly true. Perhaps if they made boomer coins, they'd hit the sweet spot.
