<p>[QUOTE="National dealer, post: 7538, member: 487"]You have to take into consideration that the mint uses artists not sculptors. The days of great designs are pretty much a thing of the past. The new infusion of design help isn't really helping. Congress is bound and determined to keep the dead presidents out of fear of offending someone. No one seems to care that we have the ugliest coins in the world. Lack luster designs and poor quality. </p><p>We choose to honor the men without honoring their wishes. It seems to me, that the best way we could honor these great presidents would be to follow their examples and wishes. Our founding fathers had the foresight and understanding to know better. We have lost that somewhere along the lines. </p><p>Our pitiful tribute only belittles what these great men set forth.</p><p>While I am all for honoring these great men, we need to do it in the way that they deserve.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
