The "Founding Father" obverse rivals the Churchill Crown smile.gif The reverse is fantastic. Looks best in proof.

The "Scientist" is rather well rounded. Not fantastic but not bad either.

I really like the Founding Father piece, one of the better commems the mint has done. Of course the reverse didn't take a whole lot of effort tongue.gif
