<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ROBERT THOMASON, post: 2603185, member: 84116&quot;]When the SBAs came out in 1979 I thought the reverse design looked much nicer in the reduced size than it did on the Ikes. However, the obverse is dismal (poor Susie, she was no beauty, but she was PC), but looks better in Proof than BU.</p><p>I never bought into that BS that it was confused with a quarter due to the size, either.... By whom?</p><p>Illiterate morons?</p><p>I always thought a Liberty Head would have been better. Not that ridiculous cartoon that Gasparro came up with (along with that hideous eagle reverse design), but a nice Liberty, like the pattern design known as the Shield Earring. Classic. Artistic.</p><p>In fact, being an Olde Farte, I think all the minor coins, from dime through dollar, would look better with that obverse. They would look..... American.</p><p>The worst idea they ever came up with was having Dead Presidents on our coins. It wasn&#039;t originally supposed to be that way.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
