<p>[QUOTE="KLJ, post: 76530, member: 1910"]The new obverse isn't really all that new from this year's. Jefferson's head was changed, but that was it. The lettering is in the same spots, and the head is even in the same general location. I'm worried about how this new obverse will wear in circulation. It looks OK in the drawings I've seen, but what will happen when the coin is made in low relief, and then worn down some? It also preserves the vast open space (for bag marks) of this year's obverse. And I've never liked that they went back to the old Monticello reverse. </p><p><br /></p><p>"But other than that," said Mrs. Lincoln, "the play was great."[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
