One of America's great authors will be on two U.S. Mint commemorative coins in 2016, and we can see the crop of designs from which the Citizens Coinage Advisory Committee is choosing.
The Mint on Thursday released the 67 obverse and reverse designs the CCAC considered for the two coins — one gold and one silver — that will honor Mark Twain, author of classics that include The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.
