Here’s another example of an image rendering from the USM store below…

And a photo of a coin I took with my phone..
Big difference visually between an AI morph, and the real thing….

Not sure why they don’t put up a FHG image since they’re AI, morphed renderings from the branding Dept.. Not real photos, like the 2023 Lib below(all USM shopping images)… FOMO I think and hopefully not production issues!?
The 1907 Extra HR Gold Proof coin had some edge lettering on it…

In reply to Rick. Thank ya.., thought I was loosing my mind, Yeah, this puppy has more in common with the Liberty Series than not…. Sans the edge lettering, Perhaps that’s why no photo for us yet, problems with the die strike on a 1) gold proof coin, 2) with high relief, & 3) edge lettering…. Don’t recall the USM ever striking 1 thru 3 before…. In gold?

In reply to Rick.

However, High Relief was not included in the title all year like it is now…
It was mentioned in the description on the old website…

In reply to Keep Calm & Stack On. Yes from the very get-go it was proclaimed as being a high relief proof coin! FHG was/is pretty much in line with the Gold Liberty Series as far as that goes...

FHG - was it always listed as high relief? As in 230th Anniversary Flowing Hair HIGH RELIEF Gold Coin? Or am I just now waking up to the fact?

FHS non-privy returns should be showing up any day now…, perhaps tomorrow the FHS will become available again?

You’re right AKBob.., this new USM website sucks more than anything has ever sucked before….

At 6:25pm EST there was a wait list to enter the website…. Why was I entered into the waiting room, on a Monday, at 6:25 ?

Come the 14th, this website upgrade is going to $h!+ itself.., just watch and see..

Oh, and regarding the squirrel, poor little fella.., the answer you seek is, “it takes a squirrel to know a squirrel” 😉
