Images show dark splotches and probably don't do justice to the coin.

Is that spot in front of his face on the coin? Please properly crop photos before posting them. John1  |

I think the dark splotch is a reflection of something. You can kind of see a dark spot in pretty much the same place on the reverse.

I've always heard people say they are ugly. Personally I like them in ms or proof. To me it's a classic and simple design. Circulated they are ugly. Dull and gray and generally not sharply struck. So is lithe circulated Peace dollar imho. |

Well, Franklin was obviously not a sculptor's ideal.
