[QUOTE="Todd Volker, post: 526576, member: 16686"]I've read Susan's piece and had a bit of time to think of it. First, I have a hard time believing the one major wholesaler was so affected by the week's Washington news. Second, a strike of 500,000 specialty coins will take a lot to move in any economy. . . the Lincoln Bicentennial is getting a general yawn from the public for some reason (perhaps because we no longer insist on giving kids good history and civics instruction?), much less interest than the whole Lews & Clark thing (I have to say, L&C is of much less interest to me than Lincoln. . . but more of the western states seemed deeply obsessed with the L&C thing and this kept up general interest). I bought three proofs and anticipate getting a couple of the penny-dollar sets. Perhaps a lot more individual collectors are waiting for the sets. Susan's right about the Mint just not getting the word out about the dollar. I think the cent's promotion has been handled pretty well.[/QUOTE]
