Think about it... who really would want to see a return of (as an example) Weinman&#039;s Winged Liberty design stuck in modern low-relief and on a clad coin? All this would do (IMO) is take away from the magic of the original. Past designs used on bullion is bad enough, but look at the Buffalo commem of 2001; arguably a nice coin on its own, but when compared to the original, it falls short in a very cheesy way. Historical designs should stay where they belong and exist only as remnants of a bygone era.</p><p><br /></p><p>If we wish to take anything from the past, I believe it should be to do as in the early 20th century and try to return our coins to being things of beauty instead of the blah we have today, and this includes anything that looks as if it were designed using a computer.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
