<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ronnie58, post: 2967234, member: 90698&quot;]You guys might want to consider that the artist is not going for photo realism. Obviously the model is very nice looking, however in creating a coin for a nation the idea is not to create a glamour medal. </p><p>&nbsp; This same type of complaint happened in the 1790&#039;s as you&#039;ll recall, although, yes, in the case of the Flowing Hair Cent the result was borderline frightening.</p><p>&nbsp; But it just might be that the mint is obliged to provide a representative image that is faithful to the broader cross section of the population.&nbsp; The model only serves as a guide, and the engraver is in no way required to provide us all with eye candy.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
