<p>[QUOTE=&quot;benveniste, post: 947589, member: 25547&quot;]In my opinion, the CCAC and CFA should start by taking a good look at the new Lincoln Cent reverse, and then a good look in the mirror.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The latest CCAC missive is a 17-point, buzzword-laden, document on the &quot;characteristics of design excellence.&quot;&nbsp; By their genius we now know that detailed designs are good but busy designs are bad.&nbsp; Wow, <u>there&#039;s</u> progress!</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>It&#039;s a bit much to expect the Director of the Mint to be a competent manager, a political animal, <u>and</u> an artistic visionary at the same time.&nbsp; The U.S. Mint now has a Chief Engraver, or at least someone with that title.&nbsp; While I can&#039;t say I&#039;m overly impressed with most of Mr. Mercanti&#039;s past designs, it&#039;s time to elevate that position back to a Congressionally approved appointment and find someone who can do the job.&nbsp; We need leaders, not more committees.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
