JAM Yes, but the Mint will probably prong Twain with some ridiculous POS two-dimensional posterboard design. I'd say make a Twain dollar somewhat allegorical, say a Thomas Hart Benton-ish view of Tom Sawyer, Huck Finn and Jim on a raft in mid-river on the obverse and a stylized-view of Haley's Comet on the reverse. IMHO, that would all be most cool. But the Mint will probably come up with a POS like the Girlie Scout coin. oly |
