[QUOTE="dcarr, post: 183738, member: 4781"]Thanks for all the nice compliments ! I actually tend to agree with the comments above. Things don't always turn out as well as intended. Yes, these are basically my artistic interpretation of the fisrst four president dollars (what I would do if I was in charge of designing them). And now that they are done, there are some things that I would have done differently. The "scalloping" is actually bunting. Bunting is the red white and blue circular banners historically seen draped across political podiums, etc. These are politically-inspired designs, after all. And yes, I realize that they do not conform with the actual president dollar legislation as far as inscriptions go. I sculpted these well before the US Mint released any images, and before much was known about the coin's specifics. The "S1" is a way to infer "$1" without actually saying $1. These are privately-minted medallions, and it would not be legal to put "United States of America" and "$1" on them. Oh, and here is one more "president" dollar I did recently for fun: [IMG]http://www.designscomputed.com/files/dan_pres_pair.jpg[/IMG][/QUOTE]
