Commemorative Coins in 2019 for 100th Anniversary of the American Legion

I'll order from the American Legion.
The Mint can go pound sand.

The half dollar will be another bomb. I'm buying one. It's hideous.

 

The half looks like they put a former POTUS on it.

 

I won’t be getting in anyone’s way who wants to buy those.

 

IMO the US Mint should give collectors a voice in selecting the design of their coins. They could just as easily mail ballots to their customers or put it up on the website. The $5 gold coin looks like they're honoring the Eiffel tower. I'm aware of what the connection is but how many know it (don't count collectors). The $1 coin is the only decent design. CCAC & CFA aren't doing such a great job either. Those 2 kids on the half look like they were copied from a cartoon comic book.

 

The USPS started printing and selling what I call wallpaper several years ago. A new stamp for everything possible. And, with the quarter and dollar programs the US Mint started minting and selling what I call ballast. It is all in an effort to generate revenue. I stopped my stamp collecting in 2002 and have stopped buying modern commemoratives and the dollar and quarter stuff as of a couple of years ago. I still maintain my collections but do not participate in the new junk. And, I do mean junk. The designs are despicable.

 

In this case history should indeed repeat itself.

 

That's why the CACC came about.
