[QUOTE="Siwash, post: 616550, member: 18091"]I agree with the above comment that it's a long-term all or nothing proposition. I also agree the designs could look better. MUCH better. The whole presidential series aesthetics is disagreeable to my taste. . . starting with the highly unusual (for coin design) tactic of doing portraits instead of profiles. This gives it a weird first impression, since we're accustomed to profiles, and helps make one think unconsciously that they're tokens of some sort. It's catch as catch can, when using the dollar, since the profile and the actual dollar sign on the back, make it look like you're trying to pawn off a trick of some sort. And heck, we have too many things with presidents on them anyway. I do like the notion of presidential spouses exactly because they're not so overexposed.[/QUOTE]
