    I like Augustus Saint-Gaudens, though technically he was a sculptor.

    Robert Scot, although he was an SOB (I apologize to my canine friends!) who guarded his position at the mint at the expense of John Reich. I've always been a fan of the Draped Bust design and coins of that era.

    I like
    George T Morgan
    Anthony De Francisci
    Adolph Weinman

    Robert Scot
    John Reich

    All Designers that had Vision. And least i forget James E. Fraser for the design of a five cent piece that we should still be minting today.

    Was i supposed to mention the Gold coin designers also?

    I agree about weinman, walkers, mercs, and SAEs are great designs.
