Looks like they may have reached their enrollment limit before going on sale. Check the enrollments. All three silver eagles. Attached photo as reference.

Number 33 has my vote…very similar to the original design, yet maintaining the regal image of America on her coins.

You can tell these were crafted by modern artists who think in 2D, primarily graphic design 2D. The great coin designs of the past were created by sculptors who were taught with how to work in a 3D medium. Until the US mint returns to using such artists, their coins (much like these proposed designs) will look pedestrian to ugly (just witness what they’ve done to the back of the standard quarter).

In reply to Seth Riesling. I like the Wedge-tailed Eagle series.

In reply to Chas. Barber. Maybe some have gone to the Perth Mint, or private mints that don't stifle creative, and aesthetic designs.

In reply to Excellence Always. very observant.but if you look around this country today, America's icons,symbols,and statues of the past are being destroyed whether they be good or bad.you shouldn't expect anything different from the coin designers or the Mint.TROUBLING TIMES INDEED.
