<p>[QUOTE=&quot;YoloBagels, post: 3258258, member: 94739&quot;]I think the problem with the ike dollar was that many people didn&#039;t understand it. Too much time had passed between the last minting of a dollar coin, and the stigma was &quot;This coin is special. Try not to spend it&quot; although that certainly wasn&#039;t the case. Alot like the small dollars and $2 bills we see today.</p><p>Not to mention that the design was pretty ugly. Ike isn&#039;t very handsome in coin form, and the obv fields are too big. At least with the morgan and peace dollars the engraver tried to use as much space as he had.</p><p>Then the reverse plays into the circumstance that recycled designs are flat out boring.</p><p>Yes, the eagle and earth in the background is nice, but is it original at all? Did anyone take the talent and work to make something original? Nah, lets just copy that stuff from the apollo missions.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
