<p>[QUOTE="Ed Sims, post: 1966505, member: 59688"]I have often wondered why the powers that be at the time when the Mint was exploring new designs why they almost always opted for less aesthetic designs. I suppose most of them just were not suitable for mass production or for petty egotistical reasons. At least we have some examples to enjoy the artistry that went into producing these patterns unlike the circulating coinage of today.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
