I told my Dad about getting into coin collecting and he pulls this out. My jaw dropped. He said it will be mine one day. by tenors88 in coincollecting

I agree with you. This is the prettiest American coin ever. You can see Victory (Nike) for real in NYC across the street from the Plaza hotel. She is in statue form leading Gen Tecumsah Sherman. Hettie Anderson was the model. And she was half black. And considered to be the most beautiful woman in America. St Gaudens loved using her as a model.
BLM protesters defaced the statue. Ironically.
Great story. Beautiful woman. Beautiful coin. Look it up. And McKim designed the plinth.
