Had to come back and take another look...

The Mint is perfectly capable of delivering an exquisitely executed, stunningly sculptured coin with real relief 100 years before the Hindenburg disaster -- coins designed and created by artists and engravers that made the average person feel proud and distinguished to be accorded the honor of holding them in one's hand at a time when dimes were dear -- and, yet, is stymied, FF to the future, when asked to render a mere revised copy of an uncomplicated but beloved design in larger scale...  what am I missing here?  This is why collectors look back to the past when a coin, such as this, looked really good  and made the ordinary man feel a sense of importance and accomplishment. Thank you @Mr_Spud for making my day!   (thumbsu
