Isn't that a beautiful design. I always loved the way Liberty is symbolized on the L.A.

Have toyed with picking up one of the Paris Mint restrikes, this has be considering it once more, but perhaps in the more affordable silver.
Very nice addition to your family.

I got both the silver and bronze restrikes from the Paris Mint a few years ago. They're really nice, but they won't require a second mortgage like the real thing. I was just browsing the Paris Mint "Boutique" the other day, and they have really nice restrikes of the Seal of the First Republic (Uniface), 1792-1804, and the Seal of the Second Republic, 1848-1852.
