To me it looks like man has turned his back on god now, and has also encroached upon liberty. Both apt descriptions of what our own country seems to be going through.
In the new coin, man has grown larger than he was in the past, now overstepping the carefully constructed and designed bounds which previously kept him in a proper and harmonious place.
This overgrowth corresponds with the overgrowth of our own egos and feelings of self importance, made worse by our social media age and all the associated devolution of culture around us. The shit consumer society we all swim in.
Finally the encroachment on liberty which you can see at the top echoes the same loss of liberty we have all endured with this scamdemic. It also makes the head look like it’s floating off the coin.
Somebody at the q forum is reading too much into things? Lol thats what we do here Ian. I dont think it’s too much a stretch to analyze it from a artistic interpretation standpoint. Better believe the original designer had those things in mind which I mention - whether the second artist deliberately crossed those lines or is just a dipshit matters not. The fact remains that art and design are also fronts in this culture war and deserve their own level of scrutiny.
If you have never seen him I suggest looking up the late Roger Scruton as it will be an invaluable guide to spotting degenerate art in contemporary society. I see this coin as fitting well into that category.
I've always held an interest in coinage, actually. I think it's going to return to importance, very soon.
When I was a child, a close friend of our family showed me his coin collection that he kept under lock in his foosball table, of all places. He held a genius I.Q. but lived an outwardly austere lifestyle. That was until I laid eyes on his considerable coin collection comprised of mostly $20 Double Eagles and late 19th century gold coins. A large proportion of proof coins, as well.
I would guess the collection that I saw to be worth at least $10million, today.
That is the sculptors initials..."Common Obverse (Heads) Design
The obverse design of all coins in the American Women Quarters Program is by Laura Gardin Fraser, one of the most prolific female sculptors of the early 20th century, whose works span the art and numismatic worlds. Fraser’s design depicts a portrait of George Washington, which was originally composed and sculpted as a candidate to mark George Washington’s 200th birthday. Though recommended for the 1932 quarter, then-Treasury Secretary Mellon ultimately selected the familiar John Flannigan design. Inscriptions are “LIBERTY,” “IN GOD WE TRUST,” and “2022.”"
There is no particular meaning in which direction a face is on a coin. It's a matter of choice of portraits. Look at any numismatic website and make that query, and you'll see that's the case.
While this is true I did find a 2009 silver quarter. It's in my stash. I was shocked because I can hear in a register when there's silver and I'll buy it from cashier's. 2009 Mariana island quarter. I also have 6 silver half dollars. I don't have them with me ATM but if I remember correctly they are either 1967 or 1968 and the reason why I think that is notable because I am well aware of the 1964 silver ditch.
There are some exceptions - Kennedy halfs from 65-70 are 40% silver, and Eisenhower dollars from 71-74 are 40%.
The mint did some 40% Kennedys and Eisenhowers in 1976 for the bicentennial, and bicentennial quarters from the San Francisco mint (mint mark S) are 40%.
facing RIGHT
I like it.

TLDR To me the new coin = clown world coin
Jefferson was changed on the Nickle over a decade ago. I think you're reading a little too much into it.

I'm well aware of degenerate and pop-art influences, especially in relation to money laundering and human trafficking. Basquiat, Warhol, Pollock, etc.
I just don't agree with your interpretation. Far more prominent symbolism has been on our currency for a long, long time.
I'm a lot more concerned with the elimination of tangible currency.
True. Bigger fish to fry I was just having fun analyzing the design. What the globalists do with their fiat is their prerogative

Interesting, not sure it needed changed, but as long as it spends the same and works at car wash it’s all good.
Weird.
Wtf that is ugly
The new guy can't sculpt hair.
What are the three letters at the base of the neck? LCF?

Old coin definitely has a higher silver content.
They both have the exact same silver content: zero. Silver was removed from our coinage in 1965.

67 and68 1/2 dollers would be 40% silver.
1964 and before were 90%

Congrats on some great finds!
