<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Blissskr, post: 2652247, member: 34882&quot;]If the mint made proof coins in the quality like they did in the late 70&#039;s early 80&#039;s I wouldn&#039;t mind so much. But they have continually lowered the relief since then and now the frost consists of the laser etched snake skin appearance which simply doesn&#039;t look good. All the mints improvements have been done for cost reasons for the mint not to make better coins for collectors. The mint had the quality figured out in the 80&#039;s, since then they&#039;ve only made the coins look worse. The really sad thing is the mint simply doesn&#039;t care anymore imo.</p><p><br /></p><p>Edit to add these photos I found demonstrating the frost change. Does anyone really think it looks better now?</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://www.cgccomics.com/boards/applications/core/interface/imageproxy/imageproxy.php?img=http://i1202.photobucket.com/albums/bb364/brg5658/Photography/Cent_BW.jpg&amp;key=199e34aa33bd37faeaa1c0eba88780d77afe02b8b22a93d388f9de4d79c48d3e" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><img src="https://www.cgccomics.com/boards/applications/core/interface/imageproxy/imageproxy.php?img=http://i1202.photobucket.com/albums/bb364/brg5658/Photography/Nickel_BW.jpg&amp;key=f367c2550981d5c5c5c725400b7b9ec14db0380f42bcb609f3318a2ff8abfbd8" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><img src="https://www.cgccomics.com/boards/applications/core/interface/imageproxy/imageproxy.php?img=http://i1202.photobucket.com/albums/bb364/brg5658/Photography/Dime_BW.jpg&amp;key=7459202325a0565b16a0eec9f5b42492c9a3db32e8b2550c8ce4249217b5caa5" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><img src="https://www.cgccomics.com/boards/applications/core/interface/imageproxy/imageproxy.php?img=http://i1202.photobucket.com/albums/bb364/brg5658/Photography/Quarter_BW.jpg&amp;key=c9e187cb323a1f06800a9b2ad1198c8480b0ee67b472e159e9ecf151286833b8" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><img src="https://www.cgccomics.com/boards/applications/core/interface/imageproxy/imageproxy.php?img=http://i1202.photobucket.com/albums/bb364/brg5658/Photography/Half_BW.jpg&amp;key=fee9d6780968169e1145d643044f0ec962797733023f40770c044cf525ca303e" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
