U.S. Mint To Hold Design Competition

Can we expect a D Carr version if the design isn't the one chosen?

Probably

 

Excellent, I look forward to seeing it

 

Dan I know you will come up with a great design, and look forward to it

 

Agreed, they suck. However, the mint has been doing contests like this for over a hundred years. This isn't new. Neat, but not new.

 

Agreed, the crap needs to be contracted out to China!!

 

For what? SAP's?...................................Silver American Pandas

Chirs

 

Well, I guess it's all the junk (3rd world looking design) coins coming out of the mint these days I'm talking about. We all know the difference between the quality stuff and crap coming out of the mint today.

 

The real tragedy is that a lot of coins that end up with lackluster designs had some very beautiful ones considered that were passed up

 

Exactly, this was the design submitted for the dollar coin that is now the Susan B.which sports a supposed eagle that has an uncanny resemblance to a parrot.

 

I actually like the SBAs more than most people do and would certainly rather have them back then the dollar coins we have now, but that eagle design that was rejected is hard to argue against.
