However, I am just sick to death of our mint having such lame talent that they need to constantly rehash old designs. Its sickening seeing these old classic designs redone over and over.

I seriously cringe at a buffalo $50. The true beauty of that design was that it was on a nickel, but it had at least a quarters worth, (area) of design. To cannibalize it like they have is sad.</p><p><br /></p><p>How about this, a new commemorative that is based on the styling of these great coins, but let the mint artists create something new? I always loved the 1988 $5 Olympic obverse, and was sad it was only on a coin for a year. kick all of the stupid dead presidents off of coins, and let the mint create all new designs emblematic of liberty like they did in 1916? That might be enough to get me collecting US coins again.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
