<p>[QUOTE=&quot;doug444, post: 1919874, member: 38849&quot;]I just checked, and Gobrecht died in 1844 (!), so his Liberty Seated designs persisted for nearly 50 years after his death; that strikes me as remarkable.&nbsp; So there is an interesting little research, comparing (any) designer&#039;s year of death with the last year his coins were minted.</p><p><br /></p><p>Compare John Sinnock, 1888-1947, designer of the Roosevelt dime and Franklin half dollar.&nbsp; His dime is still minted 67 years after he passed, but his half dollar disappeared after only 15 years, due to a political assassination.&nbsp; And Victor D. Brenner&#039;s Lincoln (obverse) persists 90 years after his death (is that a record?).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
