Message:: [QUOTE="Clinker, post: 1293038, member: 6229"]It is evident that I've committed an error.  Coin Talk member Numbers points out my error: "he may have an odd name, but Sherl Joseph Winter is definitely male" Read more: <a href="http://www.cointalk.com/t194371/#ixzz1cUFsbXHD" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.cointalk.com/t194371/#ixzz1cUFsbXHD">http://www.cointalk.com/t194371/#ixzz1cUFsbXHD</a>I, therefore will edit this post. (author). The US Coin that was designed by two people was a Silver Dollar struck to commemorate the 1988 Seoul Olympics. The obverse of the coin was designed by Patricia Lewis Verani. The reverse was designed by Sherl Joseph Winter. Uncirculated coins were produced by the Denver Mint and bear a "D" mint mark beneath the date on the obverse. Proofs were minted by the San Francisco Mint and bear an "S" mint mark. Ms Verani's initials (PV) rest below the extended arm on the obverse. Here's a photo of the coin's obverse courtesy of coinpage.com:　<a href="http://www.coinpage.com/coin-image-2696.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.coinpage.com/coin-image-2696.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.coinpage.com/coin-image-2696.html</a>　Mr Winter's initals (SJW) are situated below the stem on the right (viewers right on the reverse).

His initials are just to the right of the words ONE DOLLAR.

Her initials (PV) are on the left just above the shoulder area on the bust of the Statue of Freedom (coinpage.com photo):　<a href="http://www.coinpage.com/coin-image-2644.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.coinpage.com/coin-image-2644.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.coinpage.com/coin-image-2644.html</a>　On the obverse of the 2006 commemorative Silver Dollar struck in honor of the Old Francisco mint we find the designer's initials (SJW for Sherl Louis Winter) just below the base of the right side of the building (coinpage photo):　<a href="http://www.coinpage.com/coin-image-5767.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.coinpage.com/coin-image-5767.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.coinpage.com/coin-image-5767.html</a>　Hope you enjoyed these designs...　Clinker[/QUOTE]
