coinut Valued Member United States 362 Posts	Posted 07/22/2011 9:12 pm I wondered after looking at my SF Mint Commemorative with the Morgan reverse and my Buffalo as well, are they ever going to bring back more classic coin designs for commemoratives? I think it would go over well if they brought back the Capped bust, Barber or Peace as silver dollar commemoratives. The more recent designs lack real style, like they rushed a design through without spending any devotion to the art. Report this Post to the Staff

Earle42 Bedrock of the Community United States 10038 Posts	Posted 07/22/2011 11:03 pm I would like to see classic designs also. But like most things nowadays, it seems aesthetics are sacrificed. Look at cars from the 50's; antique furniture styles, etc. etc. How much squash could a Sasquatch squash if a Sasquatch would squash squash?

coinut Valued Member United States 362 Posts	Posted 07/24/2011 12:03 am Well I do hope they consider using them more often in the future. I'd also love for them to make some changes to the other coins, we have had Washington since 1932, Jefferson for almost as long and Lincoln for over 100 years. I'd like to see some new designs not just rehashes of the old. ok I'll get off my soap box now :) Report this Post to the Staff
