<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chrisild, post: 1121833, member: 39&quot;]Many collectors who appreciate older designs will dislike or even detest modern designs. That is something that does not apply to the US only, and not to coins only. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> Just as modern cars are not designed and built as they were decades ago, today&#039;s coin design is different from what was common 50, 100, etc. years ago.</p><p><br /></p><p>But I think we should differentiate: While circulation coins have to meet so many different criteria these days, collector coins - especially those that cost 30 or 40 times the face value - could indeed be created and produced differently. Silver $1 coins for example are made for people who buy them and put them in a collection. So they might as well have a fairly high relief with a lot of depth.</p><p><br /></p><p>Also, I do not think there is anything wrong with expecting coin designers to be familiar with design software. But I do think it helps to demand a large plaster model too, as it is done in quite a few countries ...</p><p><br /></p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
