It's amazing to me---and inexplicable---why so MANY very good US coin designs have been dumped after having been around for only 25 years. . ....
Siberian Man: thank you! You've done some of the best posts I've seen here. Very educational! :)
I think the BSA commemorative points to a genuine, long-term weak spot with the commemorative program. I agree this design is really nothing...
I don't think there is a scout "boycott." I'm a scouter. No one's heard of it, that's the problem. The US Mint does a pretty poor job of...
. . . my suggestion for the reverse of the Girl Scout coin to to have an outline of a thin mint cookie, with the logo inside. How many millions...
I just received my unc. I love the satin finish; it's my first commemorative unc. I decided to go this way pretty much for aesthetic reasons: I...
Damn. I should buy a proof.
I gotta say, I would have ordered more if the design had been cooler. I DO think they'll have a decent price rise. Along with constant demand.
I'm kind of excited: I bought an uncirculated one; I have not before bought a mint commemorative in this condition, so I'm looking forward to...
. . . with respect to the notion that more men are deviants, this is usually true in matters of psychological concern. Men as a group vary more...
I'm not sold by this one thin study. (I'm all in favor of religious tolerance, though.) I'm sure there has to be more serious work out there: this...
I disagree wholeheartedly with this. There has as yet been no hard scientific evidence about homosexuality---and yet the rights activists make...
I feel the AP story cited above is sensationalistic. The list of potential evil-doers was a method developed to track predators LONG before law...
It's a nice enough commemorative; not going to come around again and one of the few that I feel will definitely appreciate in value. I'm buying...
I collect certain kinds of art glass, 20th century. I play a ton of guitar. Love the Lincoln plaques; I've wanted to pick up some large stuff...
Well, the scout commemorative. It seems to me that sometimes the design lends itself better to one kind of strike over the other.
I'm planning to buy one or two commemoratives, and I'm just not sure whether to go with the uncirculated or proof. Everyone likes a proof, but...
Good post; good stuff.
Wow! That's magic.
For my part, I'm going to commence minting fake Chinese pandas.
