- Of those, I think Alt2 is the best, but how about
- ALT3 ... that the portrait on the Eisenhower dollar (pictured) was based on a sketch designer Frank Gasparro did of Eisenhower at a 1945 parade? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wehwalt (talk • contribs) 09:59, 23 April 2013 (UTC)
- Looks like a pretty good hook too. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 10:21, 23 April 2013 (UTC)
- ALT4 ... that on average, each Eisenhower dollar (pictured) was used in one transaction before vanishing from circulation?--Wehwalt (talk) 00:58, 24 April 2013 (UTC)
All ALTs approved. Here's my two cents on them--ALT1 is best as it piques interest. ALT4 is second place, then ALT3 third, and ALT2 last because IMHO it's boring. PumpkinSky talk 09:56, 24 April 2013 (UTC)
