Other people have mentioned that the Biden round isn't from a US mint, but to get to your point: medallic art has been devalued and cheapened over the decades. When official government mints stop caring about their peoples' culture and heritage in favor of politically correct and trendy/quirky designs, it severs the historical artistic lineage. Computerized tools make it "easy" to take a random photo and Photoshop it into a coin design, rather than valuing the care and craft that the artform of medallic art used to have. Various Pacific Island nations prostitute themselves to the highest bidder to put Hollywood merch tie-ins to their official minted currency. When government mints show a lack of respect toward the artform, private mints follow suit. The baby boomers in particular had a historical lack of taste, eschewing the artistic forms of their forefathers in favor of meme coin designs, bimbos, and tacky Christmas rounds.

Never forget that taste matters, beauty matters, aesthetics matter. And never forgot (((who))) convinced an entire generation to throw it all away.

It'll be the last thing they have on their site in stock, guaranteed, just like the US Mint can't get out from under pic related 4 years later, for obvious reasons.
