<p>[QUOTE="cplradar, post: 7864223, member: 108985"]While this is all nice in theory, I don't think that really factors into it. Barbar designs just wore better because attention was paid to what was to be the high areas and what was lower. Your Buffalo nickel, for example was a disaster for wear and many dates are scarce because they have no dates. That is just part of the troubles. Washington Quarters just don't have enough differentiation in the hair from the face, and don't even discuss the eagle design ... etc etc. Then there is these huge fields in the half and dollars.... just waiting to get clanged and dinged and wacked. The Steps in the Jeff Nickel, and the windows? No change to survive.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
