[QUOTE="19Lyds, post: 2236647, member: 15929"]Here's something that you may or may not find interesting. My 2 Kennedy Sets arrived while I was in San Diego and I opened them when I returned home yesterday evening. I've always thought that the Reverse Proof manufacturing method looked terrible on the Presidential Dollars and I've never been afraid to express those thoughts. However, yesterday, the Kennedy Coin looked somewhat appealing. The Reverse, in particular, caught my eye under the florescent light of the kitchen. A few years back I had purchased a bunch of old CoinAge Coin Magazines for the period of time of the introduction and production of the new Eisenhower Dollars. Quite frequently, I'd sit in the library and read about the new large Silver Dollar and the speculation revolving around the coin. A week or so back, I pulled out a CoinAge from May of 1969 and was reading the article titled "What will our New "Silver" Dollar Look Like?" [ATTACH=full]440484[/ATTACH] Within that article were opinions expressed by current numismatic notables such as Felix Schlag (1891-1974). Also within the article were artistic renderings of what some would like to see. Last night, my eye caught the following: [ATTACH=full]440485[/ATTACH] Atop the image in the magazine that caught my eye is the reverse of the Kennedy Presidential Dollar. Is this weird or what?[/QUOTE]
