<p>[QUOTE=&quot;DJCoinz, post: 235309, member: 6756&quot;]I sent this letter to the editor of Numismatic News a few weeks ago and they published it in this week&#039;s issue. Pretty cool, lol <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> View it below...</p><p><br /></p><p>**********************</p><p><font face="Verdana"><font size="2">I for one am sick of seeing all these boring coin&nbsp; series (i.e. Presidential series and many of the current circulating coins) with&nbsp; character-less designs. What ever happened to coins with character? When I think&nbsp; <i>coin,</i> the first coins that come to my mind are Morgan Dollars, Peace&nbsp; Dollars, Standing Liberty Quarters, Liberty Head gold Double Eagles, Seated&nbsp; Liberty coins, and several others. These coins of yesterday have truly decent&nbsp; designs that are full of character. Each one of the coins mentioned have Miss&nbsp; Liberty on the obverse and most have eagles on the reverse. Why was Miss Liberty&nbsp; fired from circulating coinage? I can&#039;t think of one design with Miss Liberty on&nbsp; it that is not beautiful and full of unique character. I know I am not the only&nbsp; one of the opinion that Miss Liberty needs to come back. So, what say you?&nbsp; Should the mint continue to make boring and dull designs like the Roosevelt dime&nbsp; and the Jefferson nickel? Or is it time to refresh the boring coinage by making&nbsp; new designs featuring Miss Liberty like was originally intended by George&nbsp; Washington and others? I believe this topic needs to be put up as a poll on NN&#039;s&nbsp; (or the ANA) website. Back to Miss Liberty I say!!</font></font></p><p>&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;<font face="Verdana"><font size="2">Daniel H*****</font></font></p><p>&nbsp;<font face="Verdana"><font size="2">Brod****, WI</font></font></p><p><font face="Verdana"><font size="2"><br /></font></font></p><p><font face="Verdana"><font size="2">*********************</font></font></p><p><font face="Verdana"><font size="2"><br /></font></font></p><p><font face="Verdana"><font size="2">Anyone agree with me?</font></font></p><p><font face="Verdana"><font size="2"></font></font>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
