CoinWeek: Our Coin Design Process is Broken - with Gary Marks

The world mints create thousands of collector coins each year, many push the limit of what we have long considered the definition of coin and good taste. In the US, however, the same staid process that has culminated in a generation of boring coin design continues apace. How can the CCAC, the CFA, Treasury, and the Mint's most talented artists combine to create coins that often leave collectors wanting? Former CCAC Chair Gary Marks returns to the CoinWeek Podcast and provides illuminating commentary on where the process might be going wrong, while CoinWeek editor Charles Morgan tries to put together his thoughts on how to make things better. *** This CoinWeek podcast is brought to you by PCGS.
