[QUOTE="Paddy54, post: 3231071, member: 19250"]More modern U.S. mint granny bait....that in the end do more damage than good. Not trying to be Debbie downer, however when you work shows and have customers walk in and try and sell a item that they over paid in the after market free for all.....Yes I agree we control our own choices and do pay for bad ones. But the damage done to the hobby and the growth of this hobby is going to be felt sooner than later. Again I get it we have freedom of choice but making the correct choice is sometimes hard to do if you're new to the hobby and not up on the pit falls of new item retail push. Triggered by words like" limited production "and displayed in point of sales boxes or display cases that seals the deal. I guess what ticks me off the most is revisiting what once was classic coinage,and trying to copy the new item never seems to work. I compare it to 1950 and 60 TV the classic era of television which shows are copied to death by the industry until you're watching in reality an episode of 1959 "I love Lucy " only it is not in "black and white" and Lucy isn't the star! I want something new,something fresh.....something that by all means should be better than what we already seen....IMHO the remake gold Mercury dime,SLQ,and Walker were very poor attemp to recreate a classic coin. Hey it is 2018 not 1880 why is after a couple hundred years don't we get better? Other world mints do a much better job of rolling out new coinage just look at Perth or the RCM items and compare the quality,and design.[/QUOTE]
