<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mattman, post: 202589, member: 2621&quot;]How times change! I can remember back less than 10 years ago when all collectors did was complain that the current mint offerings were stale, putting out the same old stuff we had seen for decades and when were they going to finally start offering something new. Now a mere decade later eveyone is starting to complain that there are just too many new coins and designs being offered. I may not like all the new designs but I do enjoy the hunt for them. 10 years ago you collected your cent, nickel, dime, quarter and half and by mid March or April you had them all and the rest of the year was spent looking for older coins and complaining about all the boring designs or just losing intrest until the next year. . I don&#039;t bother with the Mints gold coins but as far as the &quot;circulation&quot; strikes go, bring it on, gimme all you can make. Lets see, this year I need to get cents, nicks, dimes, 5 qtrs, halves, 5 dollars. With P&amp;D mints that&#039;s 28 coins I get to look for this year instead of 10. Throw in a few varietys and errors and that number goes above 30. That&#039;s 20+ more &quot;hunts&quot; I get to go on and should keep me busy and interested most of the year. As far as I&#039;m concerened I&#039;d like to see 5 of every denomination released every year. I&#039;m a 30+ year coin collector, and I have already completed most of the older coin sets, so give me all this new stuff to collect, keep me interested. I&#039;m sorry if it sounds like I&#039;m complaing but I can&#039;t really understand why a Coin Collector would be upset that they&#039;re introducing new coins. I&#039;ve never heard a stamp collector complain that there was a new stamp coming out or a&nbsp; sports card collector get upset over a new team coming out. Maybe it&#039;s just me, but I like all the new stuff, gimme more in fact. Collect what you want and don&#039;t worry about the rest. Gotta run, my new Washington dollars just arrived via mail and I need to go check them out. 2 down, 28 to go![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
