[QUOTE="EdGs, post: 2172149, member: 41448"]Sorry if this has been discussed before, but what would you think of the Mint putting out restrikes of classic coins in the original size/denomination with current dates, such as: 2016 standing liberty quarter, or 2016 walking liberty half, or 2016 mercury dime for the 100th anniversary Or even a large cent, or a bust half, or flowing hair dollar, etc..... The only thing that I would like there to be with this would be to use the original designs and reliefs (Most modern circulation coins have a lot of detail but are shallow and lifeless, or just fugly, IMO.). This could even have been done for almost any classic design, not necessarily having to be connected with an issue anniversary, but just because these designs are simply beautiful. What say you?[/QUOTE]
