<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ed Zak, post: 40342, member: 824&quot;]As much as I am a historical fan of our founding fathers all the way up to Reagan, I really don&#039;t beleive &quot;real&quot; people should grace American coins.&nbsp; Looking back at the wishes of our founding fathers, THEY didn&#039;t want actual people (living or dead) on American coins and hence the reason why American coins all the way up to Lincoln in 1909 did not display actual historical figures.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now don&#039;t get me wrong...Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln, (you know the good ones) definitely have their place in our country&#039;s history, but even Washington was against his likeness on U.S. coinage.</p><p><br /></p><p>American coins should represent Liberty, Grace, Majasty, and Freedom.&nbsp; With that said, I just hope someday the mint designs something like this:</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://home.earthlink.net/~smalldollars/dollar/2000ml.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://home.earthlink.net/~smalldollars/dollar/2000ml.html" rel="nofollow">http://home.earthlink.net/~smalldollars/dollar/2000ml.html</a></p><p><br /></p><p>I love this coin.&nbsp; Even managed to pick up this for my collection.&nbsp; Why are Silver Eagle Dollars so popular?&nbsp; Why do we marvel at $20 gold coins?&nbsp; Why is it that Morgan Dollars are one of the most collected out of all American coins.&nbsp; Why do people love the Buffalo Nickel?</p><p><br /></p><p>Liberty, Grace, Majasty and Freedom![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
