Standing Liberty is scheduled

The coins size has never been why the details have been missing, they just aren't designing/executing the level of detail that everyone expects they will. The Perth mint has put out gold coins at least as small as 1/20th of an ounce which are much smaller and the details on those are perfectly fine

Yea good thing you mentioned this, i almost forgot how EDIT US Mint is compared to other world mints. I got a 1/40 oz gold Britannia proof coin (2015 year) from the British Royal mint, and it is detailed EDIT. Why is our mint so EDIT??? This is the mint of supposedly the greatest country on earth?

 

Watch your language Arvin.

 

Basically because they can be. They sell out so why try harder. Sales will either need to tank or someone in charge will have to make a big quality push for that to change. I don't think it's a coincidence that more US collectors have started expanding their interests into the world market

 

My 2 cents: I think they're beautiful. This isn't a SLQ gold replica. Size, weight, composition are all different. It looks like a quarter of an ounce pure gold coin, struck as a 100 year tribute to the old classic. Can't wait for 9/8!

 

Yea, exactly. I started collecting a year ago with British Royal mint coins. Their coins are beautifully designed, modern yet classic, elegant and innovative (1/40 oz proof, how crazy is that?), and their packaging is soo superb... Their quality control is much better than the US mint too. Even the royal mint website is 10x better than the US mint website. Like you said they have no reason to change and i think no change is gonna come anytime soon. Maybe until new and younger people get into power at the mint... I'm still gonna get this SLQ gold coin because i'm still a patriot...

 

Sorry i get so triggered when talking about our beloved US mint.

 

Im getting one to flip.. plain and simple

 

Quality control at the US mint has been subpar for at least a couple years now especially for a major mint in the world. That will need to change if they ever want to be players on the world scale but they don't seem to have much interest in that. Whatever changes they made a few years ago seem to have just really tanked the quality on everything

 

Whatever the reason, they need to get their game together. You can tell the British royal mint is more popular just by looking at their social media pages. On facebook: 266k likes for RM vs only 76k likes for US mint. Even the royal Canadian mint has more presence on social medias than our US mint. Also love how the Canadians and British advertise their products with high quality videos and commercials... US mint feels so outdated and beaten it hurts my heart.

 

I seldomly believe all that I read on the internet. I always question the authenticity and provenence, especially when posts are uncited........ dancing frogs.......it's out there.

 

In all honesty that's because the US mint is outdated and outclassed. This gold series is innovative by their standards. Australia, England, Canada ect all have far more innovative and extensive product lines. Granted some will say Canada has gotten too gimmicky lately but Australia and England seemed to have found a nice balance of various offerings without everyone just making fun of them for it. Every now and then the US mint throws us a bone with some reverse proofs or the curved baseball commem but for the most part you know everything will basically be the same offerings in different packaging and it is the same things again and again each year. Some of that is their hands are tied with what they can do with circulating coinage but I believe they have a fair if not a lot of leeway for gold and platinum they could be doing more with if they wanted.

 

The Mint really is dumb, business wise that is... They keep messing up limits... Insane... 1 ? So these will last for 6 weeks at least... Then the half will come out and they will go back to what the dime was because the quarter didn't sell. All they have to do is read the boards, stated that before...
Bet, if not close to the merc, the half ends up at 3 household limit and 75K total... That will be the one that is valuable...

 

I am an investor, gold is where it is at for the next 10 years... Going to be huge...
I would like to see a coin in Palladium... Anyone thing that China will go green one day and use it all up ? A lot of cars with no catalytic convertors ..

 

That'd be the same as the kennedy which fell hard after the initial excitement

 

Agree to everything you said. I hope people will realize there are wonderful coins out there and force the US mint to keep up and maybe innovate.

 

I think they have, major dealers are stocking a lot more world items now then they did a few years ago. As far as forcing the US mint to change I doubt it, the Standing Liberty will sell out and as long as there isn't a super high mintage the Walkers should as well. As long as they sell out why change?

 

But the size of the coins they scanned to get the images in the computer might matter. Of course they still could do touchups on the computer scans to restore detail that was missed in scanning, but did they do that?

 

Did they scan the coins? Or did they use other methods?
