2021 Morgan and Peace Dollars

They need to dial back modern proofs. The fields are so "deep" that even the slightest little spot or fleck of dust can be seen basically across the room. RPs are a good compromise between the two, but modern proofs are way to easy to see flaws

Yes. But more important to me is that they are not made to participate in the economy the way a coin should do. A proof coin is the product in itself, it is made as the item for purchase, not as the item you purchase with.

 

Of course it will be 2021 for a whole year, so there is still the chance for another bill to be put forth in the new Congress.

 

Yes, the current mint director is collector hostile. He's all in for the dealers and speculators and totally disinterested in collectors' concerns.

 

another money grab event.

 

I

I'm so on fence with this as I've thought exactly that! I have a really nice ASE collection - I'm just not sure I can just stop lol. But...it would be nice to collect older coins ALREADY minted and not have to fight any more. It is a good place to throw in the towel

 

Not sure if anyone noticed...but a bunch of ASE products are no long on the 2021 Product List. It looks to me that there will be no Burnished or Proof (Type 1 reverse) coins offered until summer, which will be Type 2 reverse. They even took off the Congratulations Set.

 

I hope the Mint produces to 2020 Peace Dollar and Morgan Dollar to demand.

 

@skm then reach out to your congressperson and senator and have them submit the bill WITH that information. Typically the law leaves it to the mint director and we (as collectors, not investors) are not happy with his recent judgment.

 

I actually spoke to a Congressman last year on this, or I think it was late 2019. He had to "Google" Morgan & Peace dollars first - good luck!

 

Well, I guess they were delayed in updating the site with the new congress.

LOC is now reporting that the Morgan/Peace dollar act was signed

I have a very nice ASE collection. But, I am ready stop because of all the uncertainty and unnecessary ballast the mint is putting out.

 

I did contact my Senator before I wrote my note. I hope it helps. Im just expressing an opinion about the Mint.

 

im expecting to win that super prize publishers clearinghouse has going right now and when that happens I might just have enough to get a set............

 

I saw that, signed 12 days after receiving and 2 days after the end of the 116th Congress. The legislation should have been dead when he signed it. Apparently under some new rules signing dead legislation somehow makes it law now.

 

No, nothing has changed. The President has ten days to sign legislation once formally presented to him. The adjournment of a Congress does not alter this fact. The legislation was not dead in any way, shape or form. Understanding how the legislative process works in its entirety is a good thing for all people to know and learn from.

Legislation may also become law without the signature of the President. In this case it was presented to him on Monday, December 28, 2020, and he signed it nine days later on Tuesday, January 5, 2021.

 

It even excludes sundays in that time

Preach

 

@erscolo that's simply not true.

Wonder what’s in it for him. Seriously, it begs the question.

 

It could be as simple as they take a disproportionate amount of his time and that's not what he wants to spend time on.

He is never going to make all of the constituencies around collector coins happy, so makes choices where the biggest complainers are relatively powerless individual collectors instead of dealers.

Hanlon's razor: never attribute to malice that which can be explained by stupidity.
