They’re all terrible. St. Gaudens, Morgan, Barber, Gasparro, Weinman and the like would roll over in their graves.

In reply to Kaiser Wilhelm. There is the eureka moment. A silver coin/medal (silver because of antimicrobial properties) that you can smoke out of that you can totally pass off as regular change. No officer that isn't residue it is just severely toned

In reply to Tom. A totally insanely high price no matter how you look at it. Akin to so many other products the Mints purveys items like this seem to be meant solely for the better off if indeed not the very wealthiest of purchasers, as are the millions of precious metal bullion coins.

In reply to Tom. This is thanks to the law that the Mint is free to make any medals or gold coins it wants but not so when it comes to silver coins.

In reply to Dazed and Coinfused. As soon as I saw JOB as one of the products that Mucha had created a poster for I started looking for ZIG ZAG but alas, to no avail.

In reply to Kaiser Wilhelm. Makes sense now. Looks like a design made for rolling paper company. These coins are reefer madness. They should do more of a yin yang coin. With one side liberty and other brit chick. It can be like that other famous painting. Where you look at it and see a hot woman, but when you spin it 180 degrees, it's an old hag.

In reply to Major D. We seem to have many opinions here but it's not surprising that the candidate Liberty images would present different problems and bring up unique issues for viewers depending on who is judging them. For example, the Liberty pictured below on the 2016-S Silver Medal was the ideal for those who were involved in choosing that particular design while to me it seems to be none other than the typical Midwestern college girl appearing in a Fourth of July sorority row pageant.

In reply to East Coast Guru. I agree, East Coast Guru, that R2 is the likely best choice among what is currently being offered; that being said, the prodigious amount of information inscribed on the gold coin version has the appearance of the proverbial "throwing in of the kitchen sink".

In reply to East Coast Guru. Regarding O2, East Coast Guru, as my original appellation I had considered "Halloween Hookers" but felt that was a bit harsh.
