Just coming to this realization lately?

I really liked most of the medals but no way I was getting that many dollars for them. Hopefully the two coin holders aren’t that popular for these otherwise a medal set will be a pain

 

Will be??? WILL BE??? I think that ship done sailed, sir.

 

I got a couple un-circulated and a proof, (no medals), just to have them. Anybody have an idea how many have sold so far?

 

For sure. A bunch of double holders will make it even worse though

 

I went to the mint site and tryed to order one set (marine corps) it first said not available then accepted my order. So I have no idea whats going on with the mint.

 

Same with us all, including the Secretary of the Treasury, the Munchkin, or something like that.

 

I have to agree 100%
I considered ordering one at first as my father' uncle Frank was killed just hours off the ship at age 18. My father the 4th of 5 brothers born in 1913 never knew his uncle. Most probably his his brothers never really knew him other than their elders talk of Frank.
Belleau woods is where Frank was killed... his body never sent home.
The Mint is a huge disappintment on this one as well other items they have turned out over the last 10 years. Their design and quality has push a lot of collectors away.
Again a mint who was well respected world wide very disappointing even trying to restrike classic coins of yesteryear.
Their efforts to me are like the hand animated cells of the 30's through 60's to the computer generated art of today ....no comparison of true art work of a golden era to computer graphics trash of today.
