<p>[QUOTE=&quot;CamaroDMD, post: 568038, member: 5233&quot;]Of course they would have to be altered, that&#039;s just the way it is.&nbsp; I said that in my first post about this.&nbsp; It&#039;s true that the design would have to be altered no matter what new metal was used and the designer did create it to be used with a specific metal...but great designs are just that.&nbsp; It would look different but I&#039;m sure it would look nice if done correctly.&nbsp; That clad bald eagle you like so much is very detailed and it was successfully struck in clad.&nbsp; I&#039;m sure the striking pressure and timing was different than a circulation coin and thus would make it unforeseeable for to produce for circulation...but the point is a detailed design can look good in clad.&nbsp; I never said the design would look exactly the same in clad nor did I say I can&#039;t tell a difference.&nbsp; I&#039;m just saying the dime and quarter transitioned from the metals and they didn&#039;t have drastic changes in the design.&nbsp; They did have some changes.&nbsp; However, I&#039;m sure the Walking Liberty had changes in design from what the designer had originally created to what we see in 1916 to make it work better on a coin.&nbsp; That&#039;s just how coins are, the artists design always needs revision before it will work well on the coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>I think it&#039;s interesting since you never made a big deal out of this on the previous posts of this topic.&nbsp; Your love for the Flying Eagle Cent and the SLQ was apparent despite the same stipulation...that the coin would be struck on the modern planchet which in both cases would be different than the original issue.&nbsp; In all these cases the design would require modification...the SLQ would probably be as extensive as the Walker.</p><p><br /></p><p>In any case, I think most people here would agree that the Flying Eagle, SQL, and Walker would be an upgrade over the Lincoln, Washingtion, and Kennedy coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
