[QUOTE="treehugger, post: 1357067, member: 28451"]Just in case the decision makers at the Mint read this board, here is an idea. In the silver bullion category, we currently have the 1-ounce dollar and the 5-ounce quarter (I know....it doesn't make sense to me either.) Anyway, how about introducing the half-ounce Silver Eagle half dollar. Why? 1. The Mint would be happy because it could charge a higher premium above spot, as is done with many fractional bullion issues. 2. Collectors would be happy because they would have an additional coin to gather every year. 3. The TPGs would be happy because people would be senselessly submitting yet another modern bullion coin for grading. 4. The dealers would be happy because they could add an additional mark-up to the senselessly submitted coins. 5. The paranoid among us would be happy because they would have a smaller-sized coin to use for bartering if and when the Monetary Meltdown hits. It seems like a win-win-win-win-win. Can I get an Amen, brothers and sisters?[/QUOTE]
