<p>[QUOTE="jackhd, post: 2430831, member: 73897"]COCollector - When I read your first answer I thought, "Well, that sounds reasonable."

It really makes me mad that the Mint thinks we, as collectors are such an easily manipulated lot. We probably actually are. By some strange act of biology, we are "hole fillers" as a general rule. I think the Mint approaches us (Numismatists) as though they think they have our buying habits nailed down. How many of us are completing ATB or Presidential Dollar collections of coins which, for the most part, we don't really love? Think of the last coin that was minted in the US that you truly thought was SPECTACULAR. What coin was it? When was it minted? Jack[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
