<p>[QUOTE="messydesk, post: 2172512, member: 1765"]The detail and relief of classic designs can be made with today's equipment. There's incredible detail on some of the ATB quarters and look no further than the 2009 UHR $20 gold for relief. The problem is that there is not the will to make them effectively. The 2006 "Granite Lady" commems you cite look a bit off to the casual collector, and hideous to anyone who has studied either of the featured designs closely. The 2001 Buffalo nickel commemorative dollar is another example of this. Die life and the ability to produce cameo (and reverse cameo) proofs are more important than artistic quality of the finished result.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
