<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Kasia, post: 1943099, member: 31533&quot;]Ok, comment time for Jay and Hallingood&#039;s presentations.</p><p><br /></p><p>jay: I like your presentation as a whole. Those are really spectacular coins and I, too, would love the opportunity to own one of those beauties. It is informative and includes telling what a milled coin is, although it doesn&#039;t say why you chose to include that term. It does use the term &quot;America&quot; in what I would see as an interchangeable use of &quot;USA&quot; but these are not USA coins, even though they circulated freely and you mentioned that you stopped at the Coinage act of 1792. I think your piece would have been more powerful if you had found time to explain why that was a good ending point for your type set (i.e. this act established mints in the US and so no US coins were able to be minted officially by US mints until then) and then also that the coins also did officially circulate (remaining legal tender) in the US until the Coinage Act of 1857.</p><p><br /></p><p>Hallingood: This is really a wonderful little presentation on the pattern coins and the Morgan Dollar designed by George T Morgan. Some of the reverses really impacted me in a way I didn&#039;t expect: I absolutely and without question love the Eagle and Shield designs. They are outstanding and I can appreciate his work much better now that I&#039;ve seen those. I also think it was great that you included a blurb about Liberty being a version of Anna Williams and putting a picture of her in nearly the same pose as used on the Morgan. It really does show how similar the features are and makes me appreciate the Liberty design on the Morgan dollar more than I did before. The pattern coins would be a wonderful set for any numismatist to own. And you have chosen excellent images to use here and put in some &#039;human interest&#039; in your piece as well.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
