Message:: [QUOTE="krispy, post: 1382542, member: 19065"]One difference here to reconsider is that those plated and or painted state quarters are not "missing" from the Mint's offerings the way the 2009 Proof ASE is missing from the Mint's offerings. The Mint didn't release a 2009 Proof ASE coin but the Mint have never produced plated and/or painted state quarters so that you could consider them missing elements the way the 2009 Proof ASE is indeed missing. People can collect anything and create collections of whatever they want. They can add whatever elements to suit their liking. Collect what you like. A collection does not have to be rigid and adhered to in the same way by everyone. When I said I was 'serious' about the DC coin, I was trying to suggest that I wasn't being flippant about the suggestion and that, for me, it has a place in my ASE collection. For Rick, we know from his response that it isn't a requirement to his collection. That's how he answered my reply to his original point, what to consider if he is missing anything in his collection. Similarly, you don't want plated or otherwise altered state quarters coins in your collection. Fair enough.[/QUOTE]
