<p>[QUOTE="Troodon, post: 217374, member: 4626"]Well I confess I'm sometimes annoyed at modern Mint practices, mostly failing to keep up with consistent release dates, fufilling orders in a reasonably timely fashion, and ocassionally making commemoratives with uninteresting designs or subjects that have no logical reason to be commemorated in a given year, but for the most part I'm reasonably satisfied with most of the products they put out. "Hate" is too strong a word, it'd be more accurate that I'm mildly annoyed about 10% of the time with the modern mint, with even less than that for historical issues. (As the risk of sounding blasphemous to coin collectors, I don't especially care for the Barber designs, for example, but like most of the rest of what the mint's put out). I'm not happy with the mint 100% of the time, but on balance I have a lot more positive things about them to say than negative. If it seems like I complain a lot, that's due to the fact that one is naturally more motivated to complain about that which bothers them than to praise what they like.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
