<p>[QUOTE=&quot;line_grade, post: 194943, member: 3078&quot;]I for one am &quot;not seeing the love&quot; for these coins. If the coins I see on t.v. are any indication of the design of the Washington dollar, then forget it. As I understand it, the mint is releasing the coins to the Feds. already in rolls, not in the traditional bags with subsequent rolling by a third party for distribution. I haven&#039;t seen what packaging the mint is going to sell their rolls in for the &quot;collector&quot; yet. </p><p>I&#039;ll probably wait and see what they have in mind and order a couple of P&amp;D rolls. If it&#039;s basically the same as the Sac&#039;s, then I&#039;ll subscribe the same as I have for the Sacagawea, 2 rolls of each and put them away. In my humble opinion, this program is a little different from the state quarters. At least with that program, there was a real interest in what each persons individual state coin was like. In this case I only have an interest in the &quot;big hitters&quot;, Washington, Lincoln, Roosevelt,&nbsp; and maybe some others I can&#039;t bring to mind, like Ike,&nbsp; but really don&#039;t care about a lot of them. Just like a lot of the commem&#039;s the mint issues. Now if I could buy a $25.00 roll for $25.00 then my feeling would be, what have you got to lose. The only ones that have any eye appeal at all are the proofs, and I get them with the yearly set anyway, the better strikes, I am told are in the mint sets, and I get them anyway. Just like the Sac&#039;s, what&#039;s so special about these?? I can see some of the interest in the &quot;westward journey nickle series, with the &quot;common&quot; Jefferson scheme and different facial profiles on the obverse, and different designs on the reverse for a couple of years and then revert back to a fixed pocket change design to be used for who knows how long. I think it should be labeled a dollar commem. with a mintage of 500,000 or so and let it go at that. The dollar coin is a failed idea to begin with, the public doesn&#039;t want it and didn&#039;t use it. I see on the hype on t.v. about the collector value of these coins, and then see that they&#039;ve already got them &quot;encapsulated by the official grading service of the industry&quot; as brilliant uncirculated..!!???....so basically they&#039;re crap.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
