Very nice art... Art on U.S. coins would mostly be older coins... The new coins, for the most part, are more commercial than art. The Platinum series has some nice art...When they stopped the WLH and Buffalo nickels, coin art - at least for circulating coinage - died. Cheers, RickO

Agreed.

Politics, design-by-committee, govt req's -- all compromise & stifle the art in modern U.S. coins.

Fortunately, it seems that art is thriving in the form of medals, rounds, bars, govt bullion, hand-pours, you-name-it.

And it's encouraging that artists like Heidi Wastweet are on the Citizens Coinage Advisory Committee.

Before I got into sculpting and engraving tokens and medals I did some drawing and painting.
Here are two works:
