Very nice! Where did you cross paths with MadMarty?
To bad that the people that design the quarter series couldn't design like that.
Lafayette Grading Set
You have to remember that you have more space to work with on a medal, and you can also have high relief. You also have a slew of statutory wordings that have to be part of the design like, "United States of America," "Liberty," "In God We Trust," "E. Pluribus Unium," the date and a value. All of that eats up a lot of space.
I am not saying that some of the designs are disappointing, they are, but there are other things to consider.
Beautiful medals Bob... Really nice additions to your collection. Have not heard from Mad Marty for years...Cheers, RickO
