<p>[QUOTE=&quot;CamaroDMD, post: 568105, member: 5233&quot;]I&#039;m aware of that.&nbsp; But, that&#039;s probably not the only reason why it looks so nice.&nbsp; With a material as hard as copper-nickel clad, it is likely that increased strike pressure and time was needed to fully impress that design onto the coin.&nbsp; Such practices wouldn&#039;t be doable with the high volume output required for circulation coins.&nbsp; I agree with you, that coin is among the nicest looking coins ever minted by the US...possibly the finest in clad.&nbsp; But, the circumstances behind its production are vastly different from a circulation coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
