<p>[QUOTE="eddiespin, post: 2606146, member: 4920"]They'ed be freaks. Nothing more. They'd be like the ASEs, although those are different reverses, which, in itself, is at least some recommendation for them. But they couldn't match the quality of the old ones, just as the "fantasy" ones can't do that, as those old dies are either "past-it," or gone altogether. They'd be novelty pieces, just as are the "fantasy" ones, but lawfully-minted. They'd be special-issue collector coins of no more meaning or significance than that. Even the 1964 Kennedy Halves had meaning, as they at least circulated. I remember it. That people hoarded those is in part true, but not anywhere near the degree that's often repeated whenever that subject comes up. The cash registers still had a slot for halves, and they were spent as much as any other half. And I don't collect freaks. Even special mint sets, I dislike those. So, you asked, there you have it. And let me be the first to say, right from the horse's mouth.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
