Burks Posted January 23, 2007 Report Share Posted January 23, 2007 Can we go back to the old style of coins please? They look much nicer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thedeadpoint Posted January 23, 2007 Report Share Posted January 23, 2007 I'd say the lower relief of today's coins is also a huge drawback. PS. You should hold a contest to see who can first guess all the mint marks and dates of the coins in both boxes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UncleBobo Posted January 23, 2007 Report Share Posted January 23, 2007 I'd say the lower relief of today's coins is also a huge drawback. Ditto. You just need to compare a 1960's Kennedy to one from the 2000's to see how much a lowered relief can take away from a good coin design. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
echizento Posted January 24, 2007 Report Share Posted January 24, 2007 Agreed the old silver looks much better than the newer clad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TreasureGirl Posted January 24, 2007 Report Share Posted January 24, 2007 >>>GREATEST IDEA EVER<<< We should get them to scrap the Presidents and instead, to try to reintroduce interest with dollar coins - if that indeed is what they want - go back to the older dollars in design, if not in size or composition. Thank you, thank you... EDIT: At least, I would be ecstatic to see a miniturized Peace or Morgan dollar in my future change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedeadpoint Posted January 24, 2007 Report Share Posted January 24, 2007 Hmm... i liked the idea up til your edit. I got a bad image of a SBA size Peace. Not sure what I think about that I love Peace $'s more than anything, trust me. I'd rather see the Seated Lib design come back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TreasureGirl Posted January 25, 2007 Report Share Posted January 25, 2007 I only added mini-sized because I doubted the government would try to reintroduce those cartwheels if they really wanted to get interest in dollars to grow. I would love new, "back-in-the-day" sized dollars! But will non-collectors feel the same? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
