Barry-

If this had been the only issue the Palms had put out with identical artwork, I would have praised it as a whole, and been glad they played up the way this one picture plays well on those three colors. IT WORKED on this issue!

Sadly, in my opinion, it is taken down a notch by the fact that so many Palms issues share artwork. Don't get me wrong, I still rate it among the year's best. But I have refused to buy the $25 or the $100 because the palms policy has forced me to create my own policy -- one chip per piece of artwork.

I hope Gene wins somehting for this issue. It looks great. i also hope he learns something from the objections to identical artwork on multiple denominations.
