<p>[QUOTE=&quot;lawdogct, post: 59289, member: 1476&quot;]I&#039;ve mentioned this in another post, but its all like too much Star Wars hype for me, flood the market, and when your done, flood it some more, and when your done doing that, flood it again.&nbsp; The US Mint is getting greedy and is going to flood the market with so much hype and variety, that to me, it will actually make coin collecting more complicated than it should be and end up alienating collectors.</p><p><br /></p><p>I like the 50 state quarters series and what it has done to reinvigorating the hobby.&nbsp; And then came the Lewis &amp; Clark nickel series.&nbsp; I like them too but my limit is starting to be pushed.&nbsp; And now comes the satin finish.&nbsp; So now to make a complete set of 2005 US coinage, you will have to get a hold of a minimum of 5 coins for each denomination and as many as 25.&nbsp; So that&#039;s what 5 pennies, 5 dimes, 10 nickels, 25 quarters, 5 halfs, and 5 dollars.&nbsp; 55 coins in total.&nbsp; Well crud, I just remembered their are two differnet proof sets silver and clad.&nbsp; New total 62 (feel free to check/correct my math).&nbsp; And heaven forbid there are any major varieties this year like with the 1982 Lincolns.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now they&#039;reall beautiful coins, and maybe this all just assults my like for collecting year sets, but enough is enough is enough, specially when the mint can&#039;t adaquately meet the demand they created.</p><p><br /></p><p>OK....phew....ask me how I REALLY feel next time...LOL <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie7" alt=":p" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
