<p>[QUOTE=&quot;messydesk, post: 2369803, member: 1765&quot;]I don&#039;t mind the $5 design conceptually, but I know the execution of the portraits will be lifeless.&nbsp; Imagine how the Frasers (either one) would have executed this design in the classic series.&nbsp; It would have been pretty cool, dripping with rugged, great outdoors.</p><p><br /></p><p>The $1 reverse is a real head-scratcher.&nbsp; It makes absolutely no sense, obviously dictated by a congressional committee, sure to become a cornerstone of the &quot;Modern Commemoratives, Laughing Stock Design Set&quot; registry set.</p><p><br /></p><p>The half dollar is kind of weird.&nbsp; The bar across the obverse looks like a big censorship bar, cutting off parts of the two disparate scenes.&nbsp; The reverse is OK, but rather sterile.&nbsp; One of my pet design peeves, the use of two different sans-serif fonts on the same coin, rears its ugly head here, implying that the obverse and reverse were never really meant to go together.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
