<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 3283523, member: 26302&quot;]I have bashed the US mint as much as anyone, but wanted to give them props on this coin. My mother passed 7 years ago, and was the genealogy person in the family. She was very proud of our ancestry, even more so when she discovered we were a shirt tail relative to Mr. Franklin, (shoestring really).</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway, lately I have been buying Franklin printed notes from Penn and Delaware, Continental Currency designed by him, (fractional dollars), and a fugio cent. I hadn&#039;t paid attention to the modern dollar, but saw one at a show and bought it on a whim.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have to say, it is a very attractive design, especially in proof. If you are a fan of the &quot;First American&quot;, I think it is an excellent coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>Just wanted to give props where due. I still think high relief on all collector coins should be done. This dollar in high relief would have been simply spectacular, but it was a very nice design and this shoe string relative of the great man appreciates it.</p><p><br /></p><p>Edit: sorry, forgot to add pic.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]868180[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
