Burks Posted April 15, 2006 Report Share Posted April 15, 2006 The "Founding Father" obverse rivals the Churchill Crown The reverse is fantastic. Looks best in proof. The "Scientist" is rather well rounded. Not fantastic but not bad either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlueke Posted April 15, 2006 Report Share Posted April 15, 2006 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
