<p>[QUOTE=&quot;coleguy, post: 348309, member: 9167&quot;]36 did seem like an artisticlly deprived year. Especially the Bridgeport, Connecticut, Centinial coin. First of all, the stylized eagle on the reverse is a horrible rendition of the previous year&#039;s art deco style eagle on the 35 Connecticut Tercentenary coin. On the 36 version, it looks like a hood ornament and the tail trailing off the rim is distracting.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Second, I realise P. T. Barnum was a native son to Conn, but where they really that hard up in finding appropritae citizens to place on the city&#039;s Centenial coinage? Barnum was an interesting man to say the least, but what did he contribute to the city&#039;s overall success? I think many today see him as a sheister who exploited the misfortunate to make a profit.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Well, I guess thats my take on the worst early commemorative. Ugly reverse design and odd choice of people to grace the obverse.</p><p>Guy~[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
