[QUOTE="johnmilton, post: 4859440, member: 101855"]And I know that you don't want to give John Reich credit from designing anything. I am sorry, but that really makes me angry, and I needed to get that off my chest. If you look at the 1801 Thomas Jefferson inaugural medal, for which he gets undisputed credit, one can see that Reich had talent. To think that he never designed anything while he worked at the U.S. mint is absurd. [ATTACH=full]1173396[/ATTACH] Look at these two half dollars. Do you think that they were designed by the same person? Draped Bust by Robert Scot [ATTACH=full]1173397[/ATTACH] Capped Bust Half Dollar Attributed to John Reich [ATTACH=full]1173398[/ATTACH] Scot was a very talented designer in his early years, and I have long admired his Draped Bust designs. Toward the end he lost it, however, as evidenced by the Capped Bust Quarter Eagles from 1821 to 1827.[/QUOTE]
