<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mlov43, post: 3344841, member: 16729&quot;]I&#039;ve studied up on foreign designers and engravers of coins.&nbsp; Two engravers, one from the Austrian Mint and another from the South Korean Mint, both cite U.S. coin designs as inspirations.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>They really admire the designs and engravings of the Saint Gaudens and Lincoln cent obverses.&nbsp; That kind of surprised me, since I&#039;ve heard from European coin <i>collectors</i> how much they do NOT like US coin designs.&nbsp; Mr. Oh Soon-hwan of the Korean Mint thinks that the Lincoln design is a very human likeness, and said that you can almost &quot;smell the humanity&quot; from the image, and some of the other side-facing busts on U.S. coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
