suggestions i hope the u.s. mint will continue to rotate its 50 statehood quarters program. after finishing the 50 statehood. why not just continue to produce 50 states official seal, or 50 state flowers, or 50 state birds, or 50 state famous spot. or turn the face of washington to another angle.
I wonder if the Mint reads anything here or attempts to communicate with them. Sort of like politians listening to anyone. They should take all people off coins and go back to things like standing liberty. Changing what is on a coin frequently will deminish coin collecting the same as it did with stamp collecting, sports cards, beanie babies, hot wheel cars, etc. Making additional denominations of coins for circulation only confuses people in stores, markets, general buisnesses. Changing anything in coins will hurt many organizations that deal with machines that take coins such as vending machines, slot machines, etc. However, it may be time for a Donald Duck coin.
Imagine a yearly set of unc American Silver Eagles with the P,D,S & W mintmarks encapsuled and with a COA!
sac design sucks. roosevelt dime sucks SBA sucks. old jefferson obv sucks. 2005 jefferson is good 2006 jefferson sucks. bring back- Peace dollar, Flying Eagle, and maybe a Morgan quarter?
The US Mint needs to mint coins to the standards of the Royal Canadian Mint. The Canadians are far ahead of the US in minting coin technology and quality. Also, the MInt should have more say in coinage designs instead of politicians. These long drawn out coinage deisgn programs like the 50 State Quarters and the Presidential dollar program are bad ideas. Shorten up the programs and make them interesting.
Its not hard enough to already spot legal quaters witht he very poorly designed state coins? I mean, really. The Mississipi coin is so hard to see I couldn't figure it out in mint state with a 10X magnifying glass. Ruben
suggestion to u.s. mint i suggest that the u.s. mint start to case the mint satin finish set. instead of traditional cellophane type of protection. or producing both type for collectors to choose from.
suggestion to u.s. mint i think the u.s. mint should issue some more silver half dollar modern commemorative coins. the dollar were too many. i also dislike the clad half dollar.
That could also be a problem Picture an Ebay scammer taking a 1999-s silver proof set and filling it with 1999 clad coins and scamming people, or filling it with shiny buisness strike coins and scaming newbies. But It would be nice for honest people!
No It would have to be a $20.00 coin. You can't have the coins value near the metal's value. In fact, over time that is not a safe value. It would need to be a $50.00 coin to withstand the curent price fluctuations in silver. Ruben
Why does this make sense? Why should the mint undermine the market for coins? And why should they not make money? Ruben
In my opinion they should make money. It is to our benefit for them to do so. It's not to our benefit as collectors - it is to our benefit as citizens. The profits made by the mint go directly into the General Fund. Money from the General Fund is spent on the things our tax dollars pay for. Take money from these profits away from the General Fund and there is less money to go around. That means one way or another taxes will increase in other areas or there will be cuts in other areas. Either way you look at it - we still pay.
suggestion i hope the mint will reduce its prices for the silver proof set, proof set and mint set. because the 2006 sets reduced one nickel for silver proof and proof set. and two nickels for mint set.
to u. s. mint sell some american ealge silver uncirculated dollars in capsule and box with c.o.a. make it satin finish too.
suggestion to u.s. mint now that the mint produced wrapped rolls for dollar, half, quarter and nickel. why not producing wrapped rolls for dime and penny to complete it?. isn't it the dollars and halves are no longer issued for general circulation?.
suggestion i wish u.s. mint will put up stores in new york city area, san francisco, los angeles, boston, houston and some other large cities. so that people can go there to buy and shop mint products. instead of concentrating one store at philadelphia.
suggestion to the mint make all u.s. coinage with the observe head facing us. like the new jefferson nickel.
suggestion to the mint since mint set will be composed of satin finished coins. now and in the future. why not just put four cases to it. so it can protect those coins. just like silver proof set and clad proof set. well the cost is understandable to be near clad proof set. just like the modern commemorative coins. silver proof set: $37.95, two plastic case, 10 coin. clad proof set: $22.95, two plastic case, 10 coin. mint set: $39.95, four plastic case, 20 coin. coins must be gem satin finished. like the uncirculated silver commemorative dollar. ms-65 quality and above. or else it will cost only $24.95
