<p>[QUOTE="johnmilton, post: 5527926, member: 101855"]The trouble with this design is that it was executed in low relief. On some coins, the reverse can be especially nice. When you swirl it under a light, some pieces look like a golden sun is rising in back of Independence Hall, which is a really great effect. It reminds my of Benjamin Franklin’s comment about the rising sun chair after the deliberations that resulted in the constitution. Unfortunately most coins don’t have this feature.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
