Although the image is not credited as Ryan, it is an undisputable copy of his baseball card image.</p><p><br /></p><p>Then there&#039;s the Arkansas Centennial Commemorative coin of 1936 which featured the portrait of Senator Joseph T Robinson (8/26/1872 - 7/14/1937).</p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s not like a precedent has not been sent AND the Presidential Dollar coins are intended to honor the Presidents of this Country.</p><p><br /></p><p>I see absolutely no reason why Jimmy Carter, George H.W.

I mean, its not like these are going to be used by the general public since they are minted to demand by collectors and not by order of the Federal Reserve Bank.</p><p><br /></p><p>Maybe a movement should be started to eliminate all the speculation?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
