<p>[QUOTE="Jim Dale, post: 24877376, member: 100459"]i, like many collectors buy coins because they like them or they are bought for investment. When the Mint puts out their schedule, I got through it coin by coin to see if anything interests me or will fit in my registry. Every once in a while, the Mint will put out a coin or a coin set that fit in my registry. I try not to put an air that I am prejudiced, but there have many coins and coin sets that I have difficulty understanding their philosophy as to why the Mint made them. I assume that there is a bit of pressure to produce coins to appease a group of people, whether they are Mormons or Catholics or some other religion or even a man or woman. I would like to have coins with horses on them. I went wild in 1921 when the Mint had a gold and a silver coin with a horse on them. Then in 1923, they had a gold and a silver tree. Living in North Carolina, I've never seen or heard of that tree, so I went wild again and bought a gold coin with a tree and a silver coin with a tree.</p><p>Now, we're in for another set of coins (I hope.). It seems that in the Fall/Autumn of 2024, the Mint is scheduled to mint a gold and a silver 230th Anniversary Flowing Hair coins. They look nice, but my budge may not allow my frivolous speeding.</p><p>Anyway, we'll see. Anyone else going hog wild in 2024?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
