[QUOTE="duffyc8778, post: 18820, member: 1212"]O! The Joy! (???????) :confused: I know it's what one of them wrote in their journal upon seeing the west coast for the first time, but did they have to put it on the reverse of the coin? That's my only complaint. I like all the designs, but I don't care for, "Ocean in Veiw! O! The Joy" I've already read that some literary academics object because Ocean was actually spelled "Ocian" or something like that in the journal. Wouldn't that be great, along with their denials of any type of genuine doubling errors on modern coinage, they'd be on the defensive for their spelling skills as well LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!! Of course they could just put [sic] on the coin, that'd look classy- :rolleyes: I know you guys aren't thrilled about the buffalo - but I think its really going to revive and stimulate interest and growth in the hobby and these series'. Think of all the baby boomers & older generations who may/have passively collected that'll be able to show their kids and grandkids a modern example of the nickels they remeber/used to collect! :) 2005 will be another banner year for mint sales, I'm sure. Just my five cents, Chris[/QUOTE]
