wow... interesting results so far for this admittedly non-scientific poll. I hope we'll get at least a hundred responses so I can compile a preferences list for the weekly silver price guessing contest giveaways. :angel:

It is my nature.

I like the Lakota coin because I like independent minded folks like many Lakota seem to be, and Russell Means is really cool!
I like the penny one because I like copper pennies and so this seems like a big real copper penny. I also want to carve one with a skull face.
I like the snake because I like wildlife, snakes and animals in general, and it is a pretty design. Also it would be a nice momento for the year.

I dislike the walking liberty because that is a classic well known silver design that has been played out on other silver rounds and on copper it seems like a cheap knockoff to me.

1 Lakota
2 Capped bust
3 Standing liberty, 1916 provocative version only

:sick: ASE

Most of the rest are boring and/or already overdone. The Snake is cool, though.

I'd like to see T.R., or Ike in the mix

1st Choice: 5 Points
2nd Choice: 3 Points
3rd Choice: 1 Point
Negative reviews: Minus 2 Points

I couldn't resist doing the math, but based on my point system above, the current results show a clear winner. ;)

....I have the results on tally, but ultimately chose not to post them so they don't influence those who have not voted yet. :shh:

LooseChange... I'll bet you're great at solving puzzles like this:

There is a row of five houses painted in five different colours. In each house lives a person with a different nationality. The owners drink a certain type of beverage, smoke a certain brand of cigar, and keep a certain kind of pet. No owners have the same pet, smoke the same brand of cigar or drink the same beverage.

Who owns the fish?

Here are fifteen clues:

The Brit lives in the red house.

The Swede keeps dogs as pets.

The Dane drinks tea.

The green house is on the left of the white house.

The green house’s owner drinks coffee.

The person who smokes Pall Mall rears birds.

The owner of the yellow house smokes Dunhill.

The man living in the centre house drinks milk.

The Norwegian lives in the first house.

The man who smokes Blends lives next door to the one who keeps cats.

The man who keeps the horse lives next door to the man who smokes Dunhill.

The owner who smokes Blue Masters drinks beer.

The German smokes Prince.

The Norwegian lives next door to the blue house.

The man who smokes Blends has a next-door neighbour who drinks water.



Have fun! :twisted: :mrgreen: :lol:
