Pictures of the 20th Anniversery Reverse Proof coin - from NewsPaper

I think the design is really going to jump out at you. It should be pretty sweet !!

  • Am I the only person who thinks reverse proofs look horrible? And I don't just mean these US pieces. I think the Canadian, British, and other countries reverse proofs all look bad.

    I also don't care for them. The devices should be frosty so you can more easily appreciate the art work without a lot of flash interfering with your viewing.

    Normal proof, reverse proof. BFD. I want to see them experiment with the original, higher relief designs,

    I'm glad you said what I was thinking. I think the reverse proof on the Franklin dollar made it kind of cool. But this design doesn't lend itself well to the reverse proof. I see it and I think velvet Elvis.
