<p>[QUOTE=&quot;CoinOKC, post: 183719, member: 2146&quot;]Ok, Daniel... I&#039;m a <u>HUGE</u> fan of your work. Your proposals for many of the State Quarters have been outstanding and should have, in my opinion, been chosen instead of those that were.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I assume these medallions are what you would have presented to the Mint as your proposals for the new dollar coins. Now, I&#039;m going to critique these designs you presented for the PRZ Dollars (&quot;PRZ&quot; being my own designation; it sort of fits in with the &quot;IKE&quot;, &quot;SBA&quot; and &quot;SAC&quot; designations... anyway, I digress).</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>First of all, I like the obverse portraits. They&#039;re very bold and fill a lot of the field. I like that aspect, but I don&#039;t like the scalloping around the border. It just seems a little too frilly. Also, I&#039;m not fond of the Star with the numerical designation. I like the lettering above the portraits; it&#039;s large and easily readable. I think the dates are a little small, but I don&#039;t know what else you could have done with them other than perhaps setting them in incuse at the presidents&#039; neckline. But, I think that would have been a bit too distracting.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Secondly, the Eagle reverse is just not my cup of tea. To me, it looks like the logo for an insurance company. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Now, the Statue of Liberty reverse is another story. I like this one. The representation of liberty stands proud and strong. You included the statue&#039;s base in this design, which I also like.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Please don&#039;t take my criticisms harshly. I think you&#039;re quite the design genius. Far be it for me to design anything nearly as good as these. But, I&#039;m waiting to see what you have to offer in the future. If you offer us anything on par with your State Quarter designs, well, we&#039;re in for a treat!</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Oh, and the IASAC design is stunning!![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
