Look at the old design and the reverse, new design. That shows you hwo sad modern designs are. The reverse are simply stale, committee designed modern garbage compared to the classic obverses. I think they even saw this so when they stole the buffalo nickel design they simply stole both sides so they wouldn&#039;t embarrass themselves any further.</p><p><br /></p><p>I mean, these are Commemoratives! Why do they insist in creating low relief, boring coins for a commemorative program? Are they physically incapable of striking a coin such as the Oregon Trail nowadays? There have been a few decent designs in the modern series, but then they are ruined by being struck in ultra low relief. Take the 1988 $5 gold, strike that in high relief, and you have a very attractive coin. They way they struck it, its ok, but not like the older issues.</p><p><br /></p><p>Just my opinion, and I will step off my soapbox, sorry. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Chris[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
