<p>[QUOTE="Conder101, post: 1447194, member: 66"]I'm not a big fan of commemoratives, but this is absolutely correct. While our production coins will continue to look worse and worse because of the ever increasing lack of relief, there is no reason the commemorative could not be made with fine workmanship and higher relief. (I don't even ask for high relief, just higher.) But don't count on it. Have you seen the design for the girl scout commemorative that the CACC raved over? And even went so far as to say that THIS is the direction coin design should be going in. (referring to the reverse) In my opinion it is one small step better than the WY quarter, because at least the flat no relief areas appear to be textured. </p><p>[ATTACH]179061.vB[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
