<p>[QUOTE=&quot;krispy, post: 1302638, member: 19065&quot;]I have mixed opinions about the reuse of designs in these products. Yes, medallic skills are lacking in the US&#039; offerings. Just look at most of the modern coin series and commemorative designs designed by committee, they are atrocious looking things that many collectors want nothing to do with once flipping profits have been made. The portraits on golden $1 circulating coins are dreadful, as are most of the first spouse coins, now the Parks are cranking out losers too. IMO. </p><p><br /></p><p>So I like seeing the oldies, but understand your points well in regards to reuse. As I tried to mention above, when the coin bills are being written, someone who proposes the use of these designs usually does so out of the need to solicit support by other signing members who are familiar with the iconic earlier designs, and they end up sticking for the life of the coin. The AGE and ASE are past 25 years now, so they could be legally changed at any time if a bill can be passed and new designs arrived at for those coins in the program.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
