Message:: [QUOTE="Troodon, post: 223035, member: 4626"]Yep, but they jumped the gun a bit; the legislation had not passed when the book was published.  They probably should have waited to see if it would pass or not before including them.  However, it was not so much a blatant error than an incorrect guess, I'll give them that. They included the 2007 Gold Buffalo, First Spouse coins, and the Jamestown Commemoratives because legislation that existed at printing time indicated that they would have to come into existance during the year eventually, so they included those, even though they didn't exist yet at time of printing.  However they did not list Gold Buffalo fractionals, because although the legislation for them was in discussion at the time, it had not passed yet, so it was not a sure thing.  I think they should have gone the same way with the silver president dollars, not include them until it was a sure thing that they would be minted during the year (that's the way they went with the Desegregation commemorative, even though it was almost assured that legislation for it would pass, at time of printing it hadn't yet.) So it's still an error... not a big deal, but I still think they should have erred on the side of caution and at least wait for the legislation to pass (which in this case, it didn't) before including a new coin.[/QUOTE]
