    Lacks detail, especially for a coin that size.

    In what way does it lack detail for a coin? Compared to what?

    I like the reverse, obverse not much.

    Flags on ships remind me of duck heads.:)

    The obverse is the quintessential presidential portrait, the 1932 portrait of George Washington by John Flanagan, restored and enlarged to a size never before seen on a US coin. Interesting read:
