Legislation seeks Morgan and Peace silver dollar bullion coins for 2021

I appreciate sentiments to the contrary, but I am in the camp we need to live our lives. I think it would be fine for these commemoratives. Not a huge fan of recycling old designs either, but am favor of life returning to normal and our mint making boring coins.

It would be nice if they made the Peace the way the designer intended with high relief. I think most collectors would pay a couple of extra bucks for that feature. Please no modern frosted proofs, though. If a proof, make it matte.

The committee will ruin them, juat like the 2014 Kennedy gold, 2016 dime, quarter anf half commems.
The only thing original and well done by the mint are the platinum proof 1oz. commems coming out.

 

Generally agree, though I bought the 2016 issues at melt 6 months ago and do not mind them that much.

Some issues are nice, not all are Eunice Shriber horrible, but way too many are. I have a Franklin silver dollar I think was well done.

 

A bloody reissue is much better than the their most recent attempts at Liberty, but I’ll be extremely disappointed if it is just a bullion run.

Give me two UHR coins to make up for the 2019 UHR silver medal disaster. I’d gladly pay a stupid amount for them.

 

I'm sure it will, putting out 20-30 million new bullion ones will really cheapen them. I expect sales would be through the roof as this would be the perfect type of product for the big boys and TV to push

 

April Fools ?

 

A little update:

A bad idea got even worse. Wow.

 

Eh, the mint screwed over St Gaudin and WL half collectors, why not screw over Morgan folks as well.

I actually LIKE some of the mints designs. I liked the franklin silver dollar very much, (helps I am a shirttail relative). I like the proof APE designs, especially mid 2010's designs. Evidently they are CAPABLE of having a good coin design, so I don't understand why they need to restrike old designs and screw over owners of the original coins. Remember when $20 St Gaudens sold for a hefty premium? That went away after the mint struck tens of millions of copies and made a great design common and boring.

 

Well...I don't like this. But, I love Morgan and Peace Dollars so I'm sure I will buy them.

 

I don't see any need for the Carson City and New Orleans privy marks in tribute to the coins once made at those mints. As no 1921 dated coins were struck there.

 

Most recent news. Yes, they are planning privy marks. TC

I would love to buy them. But I have a bad feeling about the availability (again).

 

Sigh. And I'll line up to buy them, at an exorbitant markup, grumbling the whole time.

 

The Mint would be absolutely as dumb as a rock to make these anything other than unlimited-mintage, at least 5 per household, preferably no household limits. They would sell millions, even at their usual ridiculous prices.

Of course, I'm not predicting that the Mint won't be as dumb as a rock.

 

You're not not very good at predicting.

 

While I am said the most exciting things the mint can come with are old designs unless they resort to gimmicky tiny mintages, I agree. They don't need tricks with these unless you count privy marks for O and CC morgans, (my God if they do this I hope they have enough class to not do this for Peace dollars). Maybe one set per household at first, unlimited after a month. WAY, WAY, WAY to abusable by aftermarket players if limited mintage.

 

There’s almost 0 percent chance they would sell millions of an unlimited ultra modern remake. Unlimited montage means the same two things every time, large scales returns when the montage figure comes out and lots of people waiting for the price to drop in the after market. The only way they would sell millions is if they sold them as billion coins

 

For any other coin, undoubtedly I agree. For Morgabs, there are simply unimaginable amount of collectors. Change the return policy if they are worried, sell them over 6 months but only have 30 days to return for defect. This is one of the very few things that should be for all collectors.

 

I've been saying for years that the platinum coins are hands-down the best designs coming out of the mint.
Stands to reason since I can't afford them.
