    I might get one to keep up with the series, and I can dig the message, but the design is horrific. There is nothing aesthetically pleasing about the image, the font, the giant hair on that woman. It's terrible. He's gonna need to come with the heat on the next design or I may retire from collecting this series.

    I find the whole SBSS series is a bit tacky but this round takes the cake.

    I keep looking at it and I decided that if they lost the hearts and the word love, they might have a nice minimalist design. Why do designers feel the need to fill every centimeter of space with something. Sometimes, less is more.

    I think he forgot that about 98% of stackers are male...he might as well have put a pair of spiked heals on the thing...maybe a Gucci bag?

    It's not as bad as it's getting trashed, but it's not a smart design to appeal to the customer base they have created who were attracted to cartridges and AKs

    I agree with Zlotych, remove the lettering and hearts on the left side of the coin - I'd like to see it with the heart behind her changed to angel wings :)

    Duane might be on to something. Get more women into stacking. ;)

    Would make a nice little gift for the wife or girlfriend. Put under the pillow type thing.

    Only one problem---honeybunny might take it as a message that you think it's time for the two of you to have
    a baby, which could make it the single most expensive 1oz silver round in the recorded history of silver.

    Hope the Golden State Mint does a better job than the Mulligan. I received an order from Mulligan today after a month of waiting and the rounds have the weakest strike I've ever seen. I got the AG-47 and he Free Reign proof. Straight garbage.

    I can't really say that another report of weak to inferior product coming out of MM after an unacceptable shipping delay is surprising.
    If anything, you're probably lucky you got your silver at all. MM's future prospects aren't all that bright or solid right now.

    Certainly not to my liking and wouldn't consider buying it! Shame it could have been done much better.

    The Reaper is far more interesting.

    Stack 'em.

    I'm guessing a lot of people will buy this round for the sake of buying it. I.e. they need it to make up the set. Otherwise, why would you bother?
