2008 P commemorative bald eagle 2 2

[Mr.Bill347]

44.99 plus tax I love it James. Thanks for the post I did not know about this one.

 

[James Zyskowski]

Your welcome and it’s a beauty. Congratulations buddy 😉

[bsshog40]

I'm pretty sure I have the proof and uncirc versions. I liked these because of the eagle. Nice Comm. 

[Mohawk]

Nice pickup, Bill.  I love birds and I love any coin with a good depiction of any bird.....the obverse of your new silver dollar certainly fits the bill!!

[James Zyskowski]

Hey Bill play with the lights this one is really good for fancy pictures like this 

 

[Mr.Bill347]

You are right James, I will reshoot it this morning.that was an awful picture.

[Alex in PA.]

Nice design.    

[Jason Abshier]

If you guys like the design of the eagle , don’t forget to overlook the 1994-P (proof) and 1994-W (uncirculated strike) P.O.W museum $1 silver commemorative coin they definitely did a good job on the eagle .

Why does the Eagle have a chain on it's leg?

[Mr.Bill347]

To signify captured prisoners of war.

[James Zyskowski]

With so many nice renditions of the eagle why did they put a chicken head on the new type 2gold?😂

[Jason Abshier]

My one great uncle was a POW in WW2 , the Germans shot his foot up had to have surgery wore a special shoe on his foot … then my one older uncle was a POW during Vietnam war for short period of time he managed to escape and oddly enough he signed up for a second tour in Vietnam saw a lot heavy combat in jungles , later died from them chemical they called Agent Orange they used to defoliate the thick jungle in Vietnam he was heavily exposed to that toxic chemicals they used on daily basic in some rugged heavily Forrest areas,  napalm as well was another nasty smelly chemical they used to burn down stuff quickly he said he never ever could get the smell of napalm out his nose and head . 
while POW coin may look cool there’s so much more to it they really captured the eagle with chained foot on this coin they hit it out in ball park ! It’s one of the best I’ve seen to date

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder for sure.  To repeat an unpopular numismatic opinion of mine, I think Liberty Head gold coins are the ugliest coins ever made.  

[James Zyskowski]

Bill    Wanted to share this new one. My mom was ravaged by polio but survived. I have the 3-coin set. Gunna built one in 70. MS and proof for the dollars reverse proof and proof dimes. A nice wooden case for 4 slabs. 
Here’s A# 1.  Less than $50 out the door 😉

[Mr.Bill347]

Very nice James. Sorry that your Mother was affected by this terrible disease. Wonder if there was such controversy over vaccines after one was discovered as there is with Covid 19 ? Thanks for sharing.

[James Zyskowski]

I think of that alot. There was no vaccine when she contracted it. She was pregnant and lost my brother. I remember people so grateful for a vaccine.   Sad times we are living in. 😢🇺🇸

[Mr.Bill347]

James or Jason have you guys picked up this commemorative? 
I did today. Didn’t have it, I was thinking of getting the Mount Rushmore comm but I don’t like the faces on the coin they are corny looking.

the 1986 S Liberty proof set.

The March of Dimes set is a nice one.  I sold one for my little resale venture maybe about a year ago.....it's a sharp set and my buyer was very happy with it.  I think it's one of the cooler modern U.S. Commem sets.

My vote for ugliest coin would be a Susan B Anthony dollar reminds of my angry grandmother ! No lie

Oh, that's definitely up there Jason, don't doubt it. Right there with the Liberty Head Gold, the Eisenhower Dollar and the Special Olympics commemorative.  But I don't just criticize U.S. coins....there are some Faustina the Younger provincial coins where the artwork is so bad that I don't even want them.  If it has Faustina on it and I don't want it, you know it has to be bad. This would be an example:

Jason I received my 1994 POW commemorative today. It’s a lovely coin, but I may have to eat my “burnished coin” comment!
