<p>[QUOTE=&quot;messydesk, post: 2197634, member: 1765&quot;]I&#039;m not looking forward to these, and not because I don&#039;t like the designs.&nbsp; The mint has the capability to execute coinage with fine detail that far exceeds that which was made 100 years ago, but chooses not to in order to make dies last longer and make cameo proofs.&nbsp; I fear that even without the added fine print, which would be an ugly distraction even if not rendered in some generic computer font, these coins will be caricatures of the originals unworthy of the legacy of their original designers.&nbsp; If, for example, you compare the reverse of the 2006 San Francisco mint commemorative dollar with that of an actual Morgan dollar, you&#039;ll see that it&#039;s not only far inferior to the original, but it&#039;s not even as good as most Chinese counterfeits.&nbsp; I do, however, have one of the 2009 Ultra-high relief $20 coins and other than the computer font &quot;IN GOD WE TRUST&quot;, I like it.&nbsp; Perhaps there&#039;s hope for these coins, but my confidence level isn&#039;t terribly high.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
