<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1433807, member: 26302&quot;]Well last things first. A lot of the complaints on LRB has to due with smaller coins and the conversion to Eastern Christian beliefs in artistry. Eastern Christians at the time believe the literal representation of the emperor was not what was beautiful, it was its protrayal of his soul and his devotion to God. Its this misunderstanding that causes people to believe Byzantine coins are ugly. Its a matter of taste.</p><p><br /></p><p>Regarding ancient being more rigid in what they had to follow, REALLY?????</p><p><br /></p><p>1. Washington quarters had the same obverse for all, the reverses had numerous items they legally had to include.</p><p><br /></p><p>2. LRB had myriads of busts styles on the obverse. The reverses had hundreds of variations, and at least 15 major types used. </p><p><br /></p><p>I simply don&#039;t see how State quarters were much more diverse than LRB Randy. Yes, compared to earlier roman imperials and provincials they were boring, but not more boring than the same obverse on every single coin in a series like the state quarters were, IMHO at least.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
