<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Coinman1981, post: 2195644, member: 20610&quot;]Hello, everyone! I&#039;m a longtime CoinTalker and also a featured contributor for COINage magazine. I&#039;m writing an article about the 2016 gold commemorative coins that will revive the &quot;Mercury&quot; dime, Standing Liberty quarter, and Walking Liberty half dollar designs. I don&#039;t want to color your opinion too much, but I believe many coin collectors are aware that the three coins will be respectively sized to the widths of the dime, quarter, and half dollar and will be featuring the same designs as the original 1916-era coins, with a few very minor modifications -- namely the addition of the &quot;AU&quot; or gold mark somewhere on each coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here&#039;s a link to a COINWeek article about the coins: <a href="http://www.coinweek.com/modern-coins/commemorative-gold-coins-revive-classic-designs-1916-u-s-coinage/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.coinweek.com/modern-coins/commemorative-gold-coins-revive-classic-designs-1916-u-s-coinage/" rel="nofollow">http://www.coinweek.com/modern-coins/commemorative-gold-coins-revive-classic-designs-1916-u-s-coinage/</a></p><p><br /></p><p>My questions to you are the following: what are your thoughts about the 2016 gold coins? Do you like them? Should they be issued in silver or platinum instead? Proof or matte finishes? Any other thoughts? </p><p><br /></p><p>I would be interested in including some of your comments in this article to provide a broad-based capture about what the numismatic community thinks about these coins. So far, I have also been in touch with Mary Lannin and Don Scarinci with the CCAC and a U.S. Mint communications officer. </p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m wrapping up this piece in the next few days, so the sooner you reply, the more likely your comments would appear in the article. Also, I cleared this post with CoinTalk admins before publishing it here in the forum.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thank you, everyone, for your time and thoughts![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
