Mercury Dime 2016 Centennial Gold Coin

Most of us that are criticizing it didn't buy it on principal. For an entire year we were all hyped to want it. We were saving money for the set, talking about it ad infinitum etc. Then they made it a bullion piece with incorrect specs and made the hh limit so large that they were targeting flippers. Then we learn they can't even fully strike the features to be true to the design. They put profits before product. And while making a profit is what makes the world go 'round they really pissed off a lot of people with how they handled this bullion in commemorative clothing. This is NOT a "didn't get 1 before they sold out" sour puss situation. This is a protest the idiocracy of the people in charge at the mint type thing. They had us strung along for a year then delivered a very sub-par product. Now, we get no nipple on the SLQ either. A full breast with no nipple. It pisses alot of us off. So, sour grapes. Yes. But because we weren't fast on the order button? Nope!

One silver, or should I say gold, lining is if Dan Carr overstrikes these abominations with full features. That I will scoop up

Dan Carr makes fakes there just better then China, but still fake so wheres the difference? But youll buy his? If you feel the mint strung you along. Whats Carr doing with restrikes?

You are obviously clueless, but that's ok. Many people are with regards to Dan's work

 

It's perfectly fine to get one because you wanted one and say that you like the piece anyway. But if you read through the threads the overwhelming negativity comes from two major issues. The first is the quality, no FSB/mushy details/finned rims ect. For a modern gold piece that should be unacceptable from a major world mint. If they put out Gold Eagles with that quality people would be tearing them to shreds. People just seem to be accepting it because it was a one off issue.
The second is the pricing which makes the lack of quality an even bigger joke. For such a stiff premium you would expect the work to come out very well not just churned out like bullion sold at a stiff premium. After the gold Kennedy there is not much reason to believe these won't follow the same path when they are no longer the new hot item on the block.

That said very few if anyone was criticizing anyone who said I don't care I want one and I am getting one. Most people even said if you really want one just go ahead and order one and be done with it.

 

Heh. The population has grown by almost 3,000 (nearly 50%) since I posted that link 48 hours ago in this thread.

The percentage of the total which made 70 has gone below 90%, though.

 

Wonder why it,s called a t-2 clad? Must be a mistake!

 

I'll buy mine for < $150...

 

I might do the same!

 

Youll wait along time

 

About a yr. ...IF spot gold remains the same price.
