<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Duhaul, post: 1968313, member: 71705&quot;]Thanks bd,</p><p><br /></p><p>Those are the coins I&#039;m referring to.

There is no doubt in my mind that the whole State and AMTB programs are there to make quick dough for the USMint. I have collected since 1962. I stopped for many years and my collection remained at my Mother&#039;s home until she died last year. Although , I don&#039;t have anything spectacular in my collection (I was a kid going though hundreds of rolls of coins) I had made a respectable dent in twentieth century US and Canadian Coins. I also have some what we might call &quot;Conversation pieces.&quot; I was a regular subscriber to the Numismatic Newsuntil I was in my twenties.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m not a seriously invested collector. Just a grown up who was fascinated by coins as a kid. I do, however understand what serious collectors do and what they may or may not consider significant.</p><p><br /></p><p>I guess what I&#039;m trying to say is I know, what the US SQ and ATG Quarters are.</p><p>I think they are an attempt on the part of the Mint to create demand where there wasn&#039;t any. None the less, people do collect them and it seems that values have steadily increased. I know that some people, who consider themselves serious numismatist, look down their noses at people who participate in this program.</p><p><br /></p><p>I understand why. But I would hope there&#039;s room here for everyone, and I think it&#039;s really great that there are people here trying to help even when they are dealing with things trite.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks, and I look forward to being here for a long time.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
