<p>[QUOTE="tmoneyeagles, post: 775165, member: 17557"]The shield, IMO is just another cheap impostor to what a real design on a coin should look like. That is what the US mint is doing, taking the beauty out of our coins and uglifying the crap out of them. I mean, we even had some nice reverses like the wheat cent, and the first Washington quarter reverse but those are long gone and will never come back. I liked the state quarter program and all, but now we are going through it all over again? With national parks? Jeez. I was hoping for a new, more empowering eagle on the 2010 quarter but oh no no, that just won't happen. The memorial cent and the first jefferson nickel reverse were okay, but I prefer them over the crap we have have circulating now.</p><p>I too, like most of you, would have chosen that beautiful eagle on the upper right it is by far the best design, and I think it would just look good on our coin. Apparently beautiful designs are out of the picture though.</p><p>But, I gotta hand it to the mint. The 2010 Sac looks alright, better than the 09![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
