A little bit of a Peterbilt look in their collection. I guess? https://www.usmint.gov/morgan-and-peace-dollar-2026-diamond-field-two-coin-set-26XS.html Rick L.
Exactly. Yep, it's interesting, and I don't hate the look. But would I buy one? Not in a hundred years.
Imagine one of those coins entering into circulation year from now and some newbie asking, “What kind of Mint Error is this?“ .. it's nice but I wouldn't get it.
I don’t hate them but it’s way over priced for a novelty feature. Are these uncirculated or proof, and do the diamond fields mean no PL examples in uncirc? Gone is the cartwheel effect of the silver dollar era. Seems like these wouldn’t strike real well with all those little inhibitions to metal flow around the devices. To be seen I guess. Rick L.
It's just another silly gimick. Does anyone think that this stuff is going have a numismatic market value a few years from now? The collector overload is ridiculous. No one can keep up with this stuff. Even a "well healed" collector won't have any money for anything else if they buy all of this ... numismatic junk. For me, true numismatic collectables have a historical basis. This stuff has none. It's just made to sell.
I'll hate them enough for both of us, then. I'll admit that I'm curious to see what these do under directional light. Will they throw four different spots on the wall? I'll see them eventually at a show. For now, I guess I'll let the Mint bask in their achievement: they have come up with a finish that I hate even more than "reverse proofs".
