<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Paddy54, post: 2109980, member: 19250&quot;]One must remember&nbsp; the age of art deco was one of classic&nbsp; design as well as futuristic&nbsp; forsight. Meaning&nbsp; that it challenges&nbsp; the old school ideals to look forwards into the future .</p><p>Many of us baby boomers&nbsp; and the generation&nbsp; just before read comic books where Dick Tracy had a two way wrist radio. And today&nbsp; there are wrist radios,computers,and phones.</p><p>Art Deco to me is timeless. There not much art that comes under this period&nbsp; that I don&#039;t&nbsp; like.</p><p>Now take that look and put it on a coin. Like bumpers on cars that looked like a jet engine. Wings on the tail of that same car. It was a dawn of a new age with fresh ideas&nbsp; that made you&nbsp; want to be a part&nbsp; of the future, yet .....was Acceptable&nbsp; to the time period . Why.....because it was classic in nature.</p><p>one of my favorite&nbsp; artists&nbsp; is Erte. I have several&nbsp; Erte signed prints.</p><p>These artist were so&nbsp; a head&nbsp; of their time. And that&#039;s why&nbsp; when you see coinage&nbsp; of this period you just&nbsp; want to see more.</p><p>Just think if the US mint or any mint for that matter revisited this design.... do you think it would be a sell out the first day offered?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
