<p>[QUOTE=&quot;John Anthony, post: 1977682, member: 42773&quot;]I&#039;m not sure why these coins are disliked by so many. SBA was a powerful, energetic person that made a substantial difference in the abolitionist and suffragist movements. She&#039;s the first non-allegorical woman portrayed on US coins, and her likeness is both accurate and artistically-engraved. I don&#039;t know of anyone who doesn&#039;t like the eagle-moon design carried over from Ikes, and the 11-sided rims add an interesting touch. (Why 11? Does anyone know? Why not 13, for the original colonies?)</p><p><br /></p><p>Granted, they weren&#039;t popular as circulating coins, but that&#039;s been the case with most US dollar coins. But as a collector coin, I think it&#039;s far more interesting than a lot stuff the mint put out in the late 20th-century.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
