-—I hope this stops before we have to have a “Muslim” woman on it-—suppose it would show her being stoned to death?

Just curious, but is there a big market for $100 gold coins?
Not something I’ll likely own.

They should aim for popularity among numismatists, so that people buy them!

Well, the current gold eagle is one ounce and stamped “fifty dollars”. One would then think this tribute coin would be two ounces. It would have to be, as TPTB seem to place such a high value on diversity. Plus, the diversity would be offended if it was a smaller coin than the white woman was on.

That’s nice.
The crown of stars is an insult to the Bible, incidentally. It’s referencing Revelation 12:1.

I bet the sales of the $100 gold coin will be much lower than last year.
To: Olog-hai
As long as they don’t make one with a complete face-covering burka, it’s okay with me.
Never had a $100 coin—did it traditionally have the Statue of Liberty on it?

Sounds like the secular equivalent of depicting the Three Wise Men as a European, an Asian, and an African.
Liberty for all the peoples of earth. Works for me.

“They should aim for popularity among numismatists, so that people buy them!”
actually, unpopularity is best for numismatists because the fewer sold, the rarer the piece, and the more valuable it becomes in the future. I’m thinking Miss Black Liberty could become quite the collector’s piece in the future; after all, what percentage of blacks are numismatists that could afford such an expensive piece?

I would be interested to know the actual amount of gold in this coin? Of course it could be fake like everything else in this administration.

Apocalypse 12:1 references a crown of 12 stars. I think you're reading too much into this.
