The Mint knows what we like.

 

I understand a Bill has been introduced to authorize the striking of a 1 ounce palladium bullion coin with the old Mercury Dime design. Not sure if they also plan on using the same reverse design but the Obverse is what we all like.

 

Since the Mercury Dime is my favorite coin of all time, I must admit that the idea of the palladium version is very exciting. However, the more I think about it the more I wonder if the design will look as good all blown up. The Buffalo Nickel design on the Commemorative Dollar didn't really translate well and I think the problem is the fact they blow up a small object without also adding additional detail so the elements expand and the design just loses essential detail. I fear its going to look like one of those very cheesy looking silver rounds.

 

Maybe the mint should just leave Weinman's superb effort alone and do some kind of generic Freedom of Thought concept.
