<p>[QUOTE=&quot;statequarterguy, post: 960472, member: 21782&quot;]What&#039;s interesting to note is the inclusion of the $20 Saint and the Indian Head nickel.&nbsp; Those two coins&#039; designs, as well as the WLH have been reused on modern bullion, so someone at the mint recognizes their appeal.&nbsp; Now, why can&#039;t the mint either hire artists or go outside the mint to find new comparable designs?&nbsp; I suspect one answer is what&#039;s found in most organizations, a need to justify their existence in order to keep and increase funding levels.&nbsp; Another answer could be government hiring practices have much more to do with meeting quotas than selecting the best. </p><p><br /></p><p>Another point, which has been mentioned, no two feel the same about what is good art.&nbsp; So, does any one know if the designs mentioned above and recognized as good art, received equal criticism when they were introduced, as they were new and not like previous designs?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
