I would strongly support such an idea.
But that pedigreed coin is not the only fish in the sea. Other coins of that issue will come around. I know we could say "but I want THIS one...
Sad but true. I just hope it's only a few get a bad taste and leave the hobby. None, if possible. Fortunately, the internet and this site in...
