The intent is clear, kill the US platinum series
« on: November 20, 2009, 01:28:46 PM »
The US Mint released the design for its meager 1 oz proof offering this year in platinum.
This design, especially after considering the great designs these past few years, must be with the intent to have the orders and resulting mintage be so low as to give reason to cancel the series in subsequent years.

The rendering posted is the design for the reverse.

The obverse stays constant, which is the upper portion of the Statue of Liberty.

Political correctness run amok.

Oddly for a PC design they still managed to stereotype native Americans having to stick a feather in the hair.
