[QUOTE="benveniste, post: 1808245, member: 25547"]My modern commemorative manifesto: [LIST] [*]Art by Committee is better are excluding great designs than it is at preventing bad ones. Doubly so for art by a Committee [U]and[/U] a Commission. One review group per coin, please. [*]The Mint needs to give designers some relief. Literally.
