<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Fullbands, post: 8378559, member: 7437&quot;]I now shudder every time I hear the mint talk about new designs. That place can’t get out of its own way in its rush to be inclusive of everyone and everything except artistry. Hasn’t been a good coin design in quite a while. Hasn’t been a great one in even longer. Single, talented, trained individuals used to create great US coinage. Now committees “produce” subjects. Bleh. There is no coming back from this in the current self centered, value vacuum in society. Wouldn’t surprise me at all to see something like alternate history displayed in new designs. Or they just take the easy way out and recycle classic designs. Appropriately modified of course to modern specifications for mass production (remember the Mint’s inability to split the bands on the 2016 gold Merc and the choice to strike an undersized 24k 2009 UHR Saint?). Don’t hold your breath for anything close to an instant classic. </p><p><br /></p><p>Rick L.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
