Introductory Note: I have posted about many different aspects of the history of US commemorative coins here in the US Commemoratives area of CCF, most with "Commems Collection" in their title to enable automatic inclusion on the "Commems Collection" list created by Bobby. In addition, however, I have also posted about the design elements found on many of the coins over in the "Post Your..." galleries area, as well as within posts here under non-coin-specific titles. I've decided to collect these multiple design discussions for each coin of the series in one place for quick access, I present...

I truly enjoy reading your excellent 'short stories' posted in the 'Coins With' section of the forum that you reference with each of these design discussion threads.

They are invaluable links to your outstanding research and writing.

Example - I read and agreed with your summary of Minerva multiple responsibilities as a god in the Coins Depicting Mythology link - and never considered that element vice the use on this coin.

Amazing contributions commems.
