<p>[QUOTE=&quot;fusiafinch, post: 685469, member: 18382&quot;]One idea they can do with Washington&#039;s portrait is to have a facing portrait similar to the Jefferson nickel. The current 5 cent piece really sticks out as the only circulating US coin to have a facing bust. Don&#039;t get me wrong, I like that, but here&#039;s a chance to change all of the circulating coinage to facing busts of that type, which would also match the paper money as well.</p><p><br /></p><p>But who am I to suggest creativity, boldness, and common sense to the Mint?</p><p><br /></p><p>Another issue (cited above) is the denomination of the 5oz silver pieces. They obviously can&#039;t just blow up all of the quarter legends. And I also see some possible trouble with increasing the size of a design to a large coin that was originally designed for a small coin. What happens to the detail, or rather, lack of detail?</p><p><br /></p><p>Just wondering.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ll just stick with the regular silver proof sets, I think. But if the designs are stunning (hoping again), perhaps I&#039;ll buy them at that time.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
