When you use the word "allegorical", are you saying we need something more symbolic, something more defining of our nation? You are right great leaders such as Lincoln and FDR do come and go.

Many of the coins we here on Coin Talk collect and think are beautiful were not well rec'd by the public and critics when introduced. I don't think history will repeat itself in this area with the coins now in production. I firmly think the "dead president" mode we are in currently will be a topic of "what were they thinking" by future generations of coin collectors.</p><p><br /></p><p>I've mentioned this before on another thread that about a year or so ago I read all coins were going to be reviewed by some committee for possible changes.
