    I see your point....how about a category for the worst design that you have seen....sort of the coin equivalent of the Holywood Razzy Awards...I think that this gimmicky coin presentation wins hands down, and that it is an abomination....you have to watch the video to see it "in action":

    Famous Horse Movie Recreated on this Two-Ounce Silver Proof!

    On June 11, 1878, Eadweard Muybridge made a film that proved a horse can have all four hooves in the air at the same time. He set up a series of cameras around a track, and each of the shutters was triggered by a wire when the horse passed. This iconic event is reproduced here on this stunning 2014 Year of the Horse Two-Ounce Silver Proof. The proof shows eight horses around the periphery, and when the coin is spun in the special packaging, the horses gallop! It's one of the most unique coins we've ever seen, and your friends and family will be impressed by your find when you invite them to "take my horse for a spin." Each is struck in two ounces of 99.9% proof silver. It's a super addition to any Year of the Horse collection, and with only 2,014 made, you'll miss the movie if you don't call now to secure yours.

    Lol no. A tad more expensive but way more for the money. Though the horses price tag easily beated it.
    In meantime it became a tad more expensive, due to cheapskate jewelry, although one of the cheapskate turned out as sterling.

    I personally know Bernie Goetz...he's a good guy. Don't believe the main stream media of the US only unless its for getting sports scores.

    So.
    Fishing....
    Any comment about my artistic masterpiece?
    I now start to doubt that Lady Liberty text. It doesn't fit with the rest. It's like a throw together of two themes and it doesn't work.
    Should be something else. Maybe some artwork / sculpturing instead.
    Would photo etching such a big surface work?
    I wanna make alot money so the job has to be done very well.
    :D
