<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Troodon, post: 217765, member: 4626&quot;]To each their own I guess... I don&#039;t feel the need to get every modern commemorative that comes out, I only get the ones that either commemorate a person or event I find interesting and/or has a design I find interesting.&nbsp; That&#039;s why I passed on the Jamestown commemorative; I just think that had an outright ugly obverse.&nbsp; (The silver anyway; the gold one actually looks pretty nice, but it was out of my budget.)&nbsp; This one, while not perfect, is at least interesting, I don&#039;t mind coins that are a little abstract.&nbsp; Trying to depict nine people in any kind of detail I think would have made it look too cluttered (see the Korean War dollar for an example of what happens when you try to put too much on a coin, lol...); I think this was a reasonable compromise.&nbsp; And the reverse is really nice.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for heads... we&#039;ve had commemoratives without a person on the front before.&nbsp; The ones for the old San Francisco Mint was the most recent one (both the silver and gold).</p><p><br /></p><p>In the end of course, only the opinion of the potential buyer matters... buy what you like, pass on what you don&#039;t.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
