<p>[QUOTE=&quot;krispy, post: 1479662, member: 19065&quot;]<b>&quot;Uninspiring&quot;?</b> Please elaborate with some of your own reasons Ruben. It would help to make your thread (and the other numerous threads you start in the same way) more than just copy+paste-a-thread-into-existence have an actual &quot;talk&quot; or &quot;coin chat&quot; element to them, hence the functioning of this forum. Without saying more, it&#039;s just another place on the web to encounter something most of us already subscribe to and or have read before seeing it here. </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Overall, I think that these renderings the designers submit to the CFA just start out <i>too photographic</i>, in part in their level of detail what the final coins will actually look like. They&nbsp; never seem to achieve the same level of 3-dimensionality that is implied in the renderings.&nbsp; That partly&nbsp; comes from the designers who are clearly working from famous portraits, particularly in these designs. Those historical reference images are&nbsp; 2-dimensional plus the rendering software is manipulated in 2-dimension&nbsp; devices. It seems to limit final output from having any hands on artistic sculptural feel to them. Figures, for instance, end up looking as technically drafted as the aircraft and ships. The typefaces, instead of being designed for pleasing forms and ease of reading, just come off looking utilitarian. </p><p><br /></p><p>Not to mention, adding <i>this </i>many more one-year offered commemorative coins to the currently large product line up is really going to tax peoples interest, stretch those thinner budgets and who knows what else the mintages will do to collectors overall Mint madness and sentiment where all that stuff is concerned. </p><p><br /></p><p>As an Ike collector, I have been anticipating the designs and have been following this coin since the coin legislation was approved a while back.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
