<p>[QUOTE="Morgandude11, post: 7807062, member: 37839"]I saw a couple of the 2021s in hand, that a friend of mine purchased. They have none of the detail, intricacy, variation of texture, or attempt at portrait shading that the originals have, in their engraving process. The old designs had a 3D type texture, on a two dimensional, low relief coin, and it is beautiful. The 2021s look totally flat, and texture less. To me, they have a comic book quality. As I said before, as regards modern day Morgan reproductions, Dan Carr does a much better idea of what a modern day Morgan should look like, with his fantasy overstrikes. The current US Mint ones are really horrible. Most world coins have superior designs and engraving to the recent US Mint issues. Even the 1921 Morgans, that were not considered the best of Morgan production, have more texture than the current mint trainwrecks.</p><p><br /></p><p>My friend is able to get prototypes, long before public release.
