[QUOTE="19Lyds, post: 2679985, member: 15929"]I looked at the Flyer for the Boys Town Commemorative Coins. The designs are flat! Lifeless! Boring! This just may be the one commemorative Coin that I do NOT buy since it does NOTHING for me other than give me a strong desire to scritch my head and wonder WTH is happening at the US Mint? Has the introduction of CNC Machining for dies totally rendered the possibility of getting a great design for a US Coin impossible? Have the engravers and sculptors at the US Mint gone completely mad with the boring lifeless designs that might look great on a computer monitor, what with shading, but absolutely SUCK in the coin making process? The Treasury Department needs to get rid of the paper buck so that dollar coins become a mainstay of profit for both the Government and the US Mint.[/QUOTE]
