<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Sallent, post: 2308597, member: 76194&quot;][USER=42773]@John Anthony[/USER] I&#039;ll admit most of the 18th through early 20th century US coinage and tokens are artistically interesting, and some have politically interesting themes too,&nbsp; even if there is not a lot of variety (compared to some other countries or ancients) due to the short spance of time and the many decades some of those coin designs were in production. However, ever since we went down the sterile presidential route, things have gotten bad. Even the so called quarter programs are a joke artistically when compared to the gracefully designed coins of 80+ years ago. Even old commemorative coins from 1894 through the early 50s was far more artistically interesting than most of the borring, sterile, and predictable themes and designs that the mint is popping out these days.</p><p><br /></p><p>And honestly, over 100 years of the same design for the obverse of the penny, with the most borring reverse designs ever introduced to US coinage. Don&#039;t even get me started on the recent obverse redesign of the nickle, or the Presidential dollars. The reverse of the Presidential dollars is especially brutal. They almost look like what you would see a Chuck E. Cheese token artist design for a game token.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
