That's cool! Kind of ugly is some ways, but cool nonetheless!

Looks like Beavis and Butthead’s momma!
Welcome back RKKay, you haven't posted in a couple years. I miss seeing some of your cool patterns.
You must be looking at it wrong, they keep referring to it as a "handsome" design...lol
Thanks. I miss seeing them too!

I am unable to envision when the time would come for this design to advance beyond the conceptual drawing… or taking the initiative to seek out the plan for the reverse.
Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.But I don’t see it. My eyes are sore now.

I would not have recognized it as Washington if it had not been mentioned
Lafayette Grading Set
This would have been the first President on (non-pattern) U.S. coinage, beating the jugate Washington & Lafayette dollar by a few years.

That design looks plain and uninteresting enough to get approved for a modern commemorative.

That would have been one ugly coin.
Me no like the wide design thing and the IGWT mini arch. George does not look comfortable. Peace Roy

Yuck. Who is this "Artist Grafton" the article speaks of?

The first thing I thought of is, "Dan Carr NEEDS to make this dollar happen!" (Surprisingly saw Daniel at the Long Beach show. He stopped by the table a couple times and we had a great discussion.)
