[QUOTE="glaciermi, post: 93277, member: 4097"]Well I have a small collection of them. A mint roll or 2 of each, a couple of each type proofs. It's all part of my collection of dollar coinage. I can't afford (or better yet haven't gotten the bug for) Morgans, but I have (most) every dollar in (most) every variation since 1921. So it's a start. On the other hand, it's really counter productive to blast someone that collects a particular coin, (after all, I may find your collection of Venezuelan Coconut tokens equally mind-numbing :) ) I like them and collect them, same for Susan B.'s If they make them for 10 more years I don't mind. My major beef with them is: A. they tarnish badly when exposed to the elements. B. they are little pedastal pieces instead of productive useful coinage. I would be more excited about them if they fixed a. above and put them back into circulation. Making them only for collectors for the past 4 years is a bit silly from a financial point of view.
