<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Fish, post: 161024, member: 6034&quot;]Actually, I guarantee if the mint were to issue new coins with previous designs the public would eat them up, likely more so if they were pre-20th-century designs.&nbsp; Remember, most people have no idea whatsoever that our coinage used to have a beauty of its own.&nbsp; No design changes should be necessary, just use the current date, and you&#039;re good.&nbsp; And you&#039;ve got to admit, you&#039;d get a real charge getting a seated liberty quarter in your change.</p><p><br /></p><p>However, what I think would be even better, possibly as a followup to that, would be to use some of the pattern designs that were never used.&nbsp; Many of those are absolutely gorgeous, and there are a lot of collectors who have never even seen them.</p><p><br /></p><p>Regardless of what they do, they should ensure that these are circulating coins, not commemoratives.&nbsp; That way they&#039;ll get maximum exposure.&nbsp; And you all know that this will spur more people to collect, which willd drive people to the mint&#039;s web site for proof sets and commemoratives, which is what they actually want.</p><p><br /></p><p>Fish[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
