<p>[QUOTE=&quot;quarter-back, post: 1914859, member: 47022&quot;]Wow!&nbsp; I thought the idea was quite clever and an alternative to the endless string of commemoratives, but looks like I struck a nerve.</p><p><br /></p><p>As far as the Dan Carr stuff goes, what I suggested is nothing like that.&nbsp; The stuff he makes, while pretty, is little more than novelty items.&nbsp; What I am suggesting is legal money with appropriate denominations, just like the commemorative and bullion coins (emphasize the word coins).&nbsp; As for the dollar question, it is unlikely that dollar coins minted solely for the collector market, BUT WITH attractive designs and metals value beyond face value would circulate much more than do commemoratives.&nbsp; As for ending the ASE&#039;s, while it is a possibility, I think there would generally still be a strong market for 1 oz. bullion coins as. I&#039;d bet that a significant portion of the ASE&#039;s go to non-collectors.&nbsp; What I&#039;m talking about is 90% silver</p><p><br /></p><p>Basically, something more akin to restrikes is more along the lines of what I was thinking.&nbsp; The downside to doing actual restrikes is that it brings up the issue of lowering value for the originals.</p><p><br /></p><p>Oh, well.&nbsp; Back to the drawing board.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
