[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 1798299, member: 26302"]Just read an article in the NY Times talking about stamps. They reprinted the famous "inverted Jenny" stamp for collectors, but intentionally made 100 sheets of them with the plane right side up. It got me to thinking about what I have always thought would be helpful. I think the US mint should produce varieties and put them into normal orders at random. Ideas would be an offmetal cent placed into a run of the mill proof set, maybe have a special reverse die crafted for ASE's and examples placed randomly, maybe send out a commemorative with an extra design element included, etc. The "fun" out of collecting is gone in many ways since you cannot find circulation finds like in the past. I think putting in fun little items like this would both increase excitement in US collecting, as well as boost sales of the US mint. What do you guys think?[/QUOTE]
