<p>[QUOTE="Paul Price, post: 2974573, member: 74674"]The Dollar's obverse design is a complete failure for accuracy. Nothing is correct. The helmet, the clothes, a left handed soldier holding the right handed Springfield rifle incorrectly, the nose. Looks more like a retreat than a " Charge". A complete mess. Any student of WWI would tell you what a mess this is. Another embarrassment for the Mint. Makes you wonder just who is running the Mint? Anyone there educated? Who are the judges that chose and allowed this mess to be coined. What about LeRoy Transfield, the artist, is this a joke? You should have watched some WWI film footage before you submitted this horrible design.Nothing historically accurate. You need to apologize to WWI veterans and the people who buy this abysmal coin. A complete failure of design. I'll bet most of the people who buy these don't even realize the design failures and historical inaccuracies. Evidence of a dumbed down society and historical ignorance.The Mint owes the public an apology for allowing this to be coined.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
