<p>[QUOTE="baseball21, post: 2421459, member: 76863"]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. </p><p>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. </p><p><br /></p><p>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.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
