I like Dan's work, but these are just US coin designs with text surrounding the border. Not very interesting

From what I understand this is what the club asked for. Shame on Dan for giving them what they wanted.

I opened this old thread when I has doing research for an exhibit at the upcoming Summer FUN show.

I purchaed this 1976-S three piece Uncirculated 40% silver clad Bicentennial set at the 1976 ANA Convention which was held in New York City. I was fortunate enough to have Mint Director, Mary Brooks, autograph the envelope for me.

This was a mint product, not from a third party vendor. I don't know where else it was offered, but would be interested to learn if it was distributed on a more general basis.

No impact, the controversy is largely due to a single left-leaning news outlet picking up on the absence of an olive branch on the new dime. It has been debunked that the current administration had any influence over the design choice. Whatever controversy exists will quickly fade as better clickbait comes around. Long term, they are all more or less aesthetically pleasing designs that will be collected alongside the rest of modern coinage without significant discrimination.
