Foul and vile I say. What say you?

You don't mind using a 2015 Red Book in 2014, do you? Same thing.

Also, the coins are ugly.

 

proofs are garbage

 

The US Mint is nothing but a greedy, money-grubbing, POS organization.

I apologize for not saying what I really think!

I agree it is wrong. Just like the argument someone brought up about minting coins from previous years with those previous years on it. (if someone wants to find the thread so be it, i don't have the time right now). Coins should only be released during the year produced on the coin.
Although, in 1975 they released the 1976 bicentennial in the proof set, does this fall under the same category?

 

Not the same thing. A precedent has been set. An ugly one......

 

No, the mint was 'up front' with it at the onset.......

 

I actually do not mind it in this case, you can not buy one. They just made a few to 'show' the flag during the organizations celebration. No big deal....publicity is the key.

 

Yes agreed. But they set that precedent with the 1804 dollar. Some things never change.

 

That was 'retro'.........This is back to the future.

 

The bicentennial coins released into circulation also started in 1975, I remember getting a half dollar in change as a small kid and wondering why it was dated 1776-1976.

 

The potential for monetary gain remains........

Why'd those guys get 'em slabbed? Preservation? I think not.......

 

Yeah. I don't like the back room dealing either.

 

Hey everybody! Wake up and smell the manure. After the Mint screwed everyone on the 50th Anniversary Kennedy's (releasing them at the ANA Show), now they're pulling another fast one. When is everyone going to realize that it doesn't matter if they stab you in the back or blow your brains out, you're still just as dead.

I bought a 2014 Maple Leaf in 2013 before the Mint's official release date. NGC & PCGS refused to grade it. By the time I was back in the US, the "First Release" submission period had passed, even though I was back stateside on 2 Jan.

 

Yes they "slabbed" us in the back.

 

Bad day for collecting Chris. Most ashamed , and especialy since my collecting endevour involves commems. Not Happy!

 

the only thing I liked there was the design of the eagle on the reverse.

 

We're not arguing designs here Josh, were're argumenting motive......

 

Maybe I'm cynical, but I see them sending coins directly to the TPGs in the future.
