<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Midas, post: 94910, member: 2761&quot;]I am <u>totally</u> against any notion of people or presidents, living or dead, gracing our coins.&nbsp; How long has it been?&nbsp; 59 years since Liberty or some depiction of her graced one of our <u>circulated</u> coins?</p><p><br /></p><p>If you really want to bring back the majesty of beautiful coin designs, we have to give up this idea that a &quot;mug&quot; of a person (who&nbsp; may not be deserving of such an honor) should grace our coin designs.</p><p><br /></p><p>What do collectors want and like?&nbsp; Well, if you look at the most demanded and collected coins of all time, they all pretty much do not have a real person on the obverse.&nbsp; Even though I collect Lincolns, I collect them because as a kid, that is what I started with and pretty much it is hard to give up what you first fell iin love with.&nbsp; Even with that, I would rather have the Flying Eagle grace our cents, than &quot;old Abe&quot;.&nbsp; Look at the Buffalo nickel.&nbsp; Can you tell me there are more Jefferson collectors than Buffalo/Indian collectors?</p><p><br /></p><p>So...take politics out of coins and go with a beautiful design such as one of my favorites.&nbsp; I liked it so much, I have this dollar in a MS68 grade in a ICG holder that I bought at the last FUN show!:[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
