If the designs resemble that in the OP I'd expect the reaction from collectors to be quite under-whelming. The designers and personnel at the Mint must be tone deaf if these are what they think will excite Hobby participants.

Thanks for all the comments and feedback.

Whether suggestive, supportive or derogatory, your comments are critical in advising the CCAC as it reviews them prior to the CCAC's recommendations to the Treasury Secretary.
