Now that you mention it, that is a bad place to put it. A redesign with a smaller picture and the coins below would have been better. And no, people don’t always think (including me). What did surprise was that the mint didn’t emphasize this was the original, slightly higher, relief with (I think) more accented hair. For sure that could have increased interest. The press release looked like it was written by someone who didn’t know much about coins and simply discussed the history without the design details. Anyway, a decent price and a pretty smooth release; I bought 2 and am waiting for the silvers. Gold’s a bit too much, unfortunately….

Bad taste to place the hole at back of his head…doesn’t anybody think anymore.
Even the front cover with the 1964 illustration jumped out at me, then I saw the place where they put the upper 2014 coin in airtight holder.
Maybe I’m too touchy about this, but it looks bad to me.

I wonder how many of these will show up at banks in the future.
Will be a good find if they do…..

Glad they are releasing separate at a time. Limit of five also sounds good.. (at least for the beginning release ).. Just wish they had a limited mintage, But still should do very well (imho)… Great job U.S. Mint
