<p>[QUOTE="Gallienus, post: 3147773, member: 42034"]An idea I'd really like to see the mint implement. Is anyone else here peeved that modern proof sets missed the beautiful Peace dollar by one year?! Our only silver proof sets and the biggest coin in them is just a small half dollar. I've had occasional interest in getting an early modern proof set, like a '42, but face it they're pretty much all the same as they basically started after the bulk of presidential coinage. Maybe that's why modern proof sets are dead in the water.</p><p><br /></p><p>I think the mint should reissue 100th anniversary proof sets, in 90% silver, using the designs of 100 years ago. That way we can finally see what a proof Standing Liberty quarter really looks like. I'd really like to see a type I in one of those -- <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie99" alt=":watching:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />! The sets would also include the Peace dollar, the Walkers, Mercuries, Buffalos, and the Lincoln cent. The year would be the current one; i.e. 2018, etc and the denoms could be whatever they want. </p><p><br /></p><p>If they were really crazy they could even include the gold: same weights and fineness of the $2.5 - $20 pieces as a premium set.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
