Sir Kaiser, you and SENZA are already in the inaugural class of the CoinNews Hall of Fame. What we need now is a 2022 CoinNews Hall of Fame Commemorative Proof Silver Dollar with your two faces on the obverse.

I like your idea, Sir Kaiser. Instead of the Janus-like two face head looking back (to the past) and looking forward (to the future), your proposed three face head would have one face looking back (past), one face looking straight (the present), and one face looking forward (future). Could I be the straight one?
