S.1326 - American Innovation $1 Coin Act

@TomW:
Thanks for the update.

Problem is through this who Artistic Infusion Program, they have almost exclusively selected artists whose main focus have been in computer graphics or other 2 dimensional media. I only know of one participant (From the first group they had) whose primary training was in sculpture. It seems like since they have been making the relief on the coins lower and lower they are moving to artists experienced in "no relief" art.

If there's a choice between two themes in any state, the decision between them is almost always going to be political. You don't always notice if it happens to be a choice you agree with or don't personally care about.

Unless the final designs are staggeringly attractive (and from the introductory piece, I have little confidence that they will be), I won't be getting these. I've had my fill of long-term series, especially in metals with little intrinsic value, and double-especially with small dollars that don't circulate.

A little better, but I'm still not impressed.

As long as there is edge lettering, I am not interested.

If anything I would just collect date only in proof, as I did for the Prez and NA dollars. No sense in collecting mint marks for albums when you cannot see them while they are in the album.
