[QUOTE="Troodon, post: 443696, member: 4626"]Um, yes they do, at least alot more so than the "female" on the Barber dime, they do. As for the smurf hat, I'm well aware of what it is and what it signfies; I still don't like it. The Morgan dollar works the word "Liberty" into the design and is just as symbolic of Liberty while simutaneaously being more attractive. I'll admit to being mistaken about the dime (the scrawny eagle, Barber only put on the quarter and half dollar, and that is still a seriously ugly eagle). Nothing wrong with the wreath on the dime per se, but it isn't very original...
