<p>[QUOTE=&quot;fretboard, post: 835792, member: 19765&quot;]Well I don&#039;t know if I&#039;m right about this but my thoughts are that the US mint is constantly thinking of ways to keep us modern coin collectors on a string or in some way interested in being excited about buying modern coins.&nbsp; I&#039;m just sayin&#039;.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;My years could be wrong but I don&#039;t think they&#039;re that far off.&nbsp; In 1989 after placing a Philadelphia mint mark on quarters, dimes, nickels and maybe cents since 1979 or 1980.&nbsp; It was reported that the US mint had erorred and left some mint marks off of some quarters.&nbsp; Yeah, that certainly stirred up some interest!&nbsp; How about all the edge errors on the Presidential dollars, practically every other year there&#039;s something going on with the Prez dollars it seems.&nbsp; Could some of those errors be intentional?&nbsp; I don&#039;t know, I kinda doubt it but ya&#039; never know! </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway, I&#039;m sure there are better examples when the mint has used selling ploys to stir up interest.&nbsp; How about in 2006 when the fractional gold buffalos were released and they never did it again?&nbsp; Do you realize how much those fractionals are going for on ebay?&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>If I didn&#039;t know any better I&#039;d say they most likely have a giant advertising firm working for them and thinking of this stuff to keep us all reeled in.&nbsp; I&#039;m just sayin&#039;!!&nbsp; What do you think?&nbsp; Am I right or am I wrong?&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie5" alt=":confused:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
