I don't like the front---Ole George looks like he is saying....Here is yet another dollar coin that won't be used

The back except for the ---$1--- I like it. Only my opinion.

Well alongside this they are making gold first ladies. For the presidents who didn't have a wife they are putting the liberty design that was on the coin at the time.

Fugly :P

Got 4 rolls at the bank -comes 25 in a roll. Looks like a cheap gaming token to me-- :P

Mrs. oroblanco,

The whole point of this coin program is to put ALL the presidents on one dollar coins. There will be 4 different obverses a year, and the program will go in order of date served. So the mint couldn't just skip Washington because he's on the quarter....

I just got one yesterday. I think it's too close in size to the quarter. Isn't that one of the major reasons the Susan B. Anthony failed? Have you seen where they put the date? It will be worn off in no time.

I agree there. Collectors will be cursing circulated coins like these in years to come, we all know how frustrating it is to find a dateless coin. :P

I don't see a mint date on it? Did I miss something? I see the date of the presidents reign, but not a stamp date.

It is "edge-incused" so you won't be able to see it in a coin mount (unless you use a 50¢ or $1 mount).

Also the "In God We Trust" wording; which Washington the city seems to be ashamed of.

 

[Kas]

I'd like to know how much money was wasted on the design and who the hell came up with such an agly design and who is the mindless loser than decided the USA needed another dollar coin?

My 2 cents,

Cap Z.

Yuck!
Another cheap copper clad coin.

At least they could start making them out of 40% silver or nickle or something other than copper that will turn ugly.

Bluck, phooy!

Not very collectable in my opinion.

I hope I don't run into any.

The date/mm, "E Pluribus Unum" and "In God we Trust" are all on the edge, and hard to read. I can see where they would wear off rather easily.

 

[scotto]

I held the coin on my scanner and took a scan of the edge, for the date/mm..

 

[funkman]

I got 3 of them today and do not like the words on the edge, especially the mint mark. You can always look up when George was made into this series, but if the mint mark wears off, oh well. Also I noticed that the 3 I have two of them have it so when reading the "In God We Trust" and the rest on the edge, that Washington's face is on top, but 1 of them has it so when reading these words the Statue of Liberty is on top. They do this on purpose or did I luck out with an error?

yeah...i've been trying to get one of those, but the banks are only giving them to people with an account with them

Really? That's crazy. I went in 3 times to pick some up for other people, and I don't have an account there. That's just being petty, IMO.

 

[musclecar]

Coin beauty and quality has gone way downhill, ESPECIALLY since the introduction of the z i n c p e n n e y. The US gov needs to step up to the plate and make some coins that make us say "WOW". Come on, with our technology,,,,,, at least make a silver production coin again or something.

Just my pennies worth.
