In fact he went against orders in making that change.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>It probably wouldn&#039;t have mattered, no circulating coin has even been widely appreciated by the public or collectors while it has been in current production.&nbsp; If you go back and read the contemporary comments in the newpaper letters to the editor and the letters in numismatic periodicals whenever a new coin design is released they are almost without exception highly critical of the design, how ugly they are, typically calling them a new low and crying about how much better the designs of other nations are.&nbsp; The standing Liberty quarter though is something of an exception, there was no real comment about it at all.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
