<p>[QUOTE=&quot;johnmilton, post: 24783793, member: 101855&quot;]In one sense, I can agree with this. From what I have read, there was no love losts for the Flowing Hair design when it was current. </p><p><br /></p><p>Conversely, I&#039;ve given up on even coming close to collecting all of the &quot;stuff&quot; the mint is issuing these days. I used to keep up with the modern commemoratives partly because I have a type set of the old commemoratives (1892 to 1954). After a while, I came to the conclusion that I really didn&#039;t care about a number of these coins. I sold off the ones that met nothing to me and kept the ones that did. </p><p><br /></p><p>Years ago, someone figured out that you would have to spend over $30,000 per year to keep up with all the stuff the mint is issuing. It&#039;s got to be more these days given the high price of gold, and the huge premiums the mint is charging for its coins these days. When I was a kid, Proof sets, with silver in them, sold for $2.10. Now they something like $120. </p><p><br /></p><p>I have a lot more interest in selected older coins than new ones. Therefore my mint purchases are quite limited. I have the Flowing Hair Design on half dimes, half dollars and one dollar coin. I don&#039;t need the new one.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
