<p>[QUOTE=&quot;tmoneyeagles, post: 909226, member: 17557&quot;]With the Mint introducing some new design, some new pattern each year, it drowns the hobby with nothing more than junk.</p><p><br /></p><p>Sure these things are fun to put in your Dansco and say you have a complete set of this and that, but the Mint just keeps finding ways to make money don&#039;t they, because everybody wants their hands on one of these, BUT for some it has nothing to do with collecting, it has everything to do with making a profit off of them, just like you could&#039;ve with the 1999 State Quarters, if you bought them direct from the Mint.</p><p><br /></p><p>These new modern issues are junk and nothing more, extremely hight mintages, and ugly designs. You know how many people would&#039;ve been happier with seeing that old quarter reverse come back?&nbsp; That was a beautiful coin, replaced by something that was very neat, and got a lot of people into collecting, but the ATB series, is just another decade or so we have to go through, until the Mint introduces, the Types of Ketchup Quarter Series, or Soda Quarter Series. I think we are running out of options, but they will find a way. They continue to make and design the ugliest things I&#039;ve ever seen.</p><p><br /></p><p>Presidential Dollars-IMO, junk. Too many coins minted!</p><p>Sac Dollars-WHY DID THEY CHANGE IT? It had a beautiful reverse, but they could&#039;ve done something with that obverse. High mintages as well.</p><p>Territorial Quarters-Junk, and shouldn&#039;t even be considered in the State Quarter Program.</p><p>State Quarters-only modern coin series that the mint has done, even remotely right.</p><p><br /></p><p>What all those have in common is that they are/were circulating coinage at one time. I think this is the key, the coins we see are circulation are extremely ugly, versus coins that used to be in circulation. Sure I love me my Jefferson Nickels, and I even like Roosie&#039;s, but I&#039;d pick a SLQ or a Bust over those, any day.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>What ever happened to Lady Liberty on a coin? Strike a modern coin, with a symbolic representation of the foundations in which this country was founded, not some dead president, which could rise controversy, not even some national parks.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
