Message:: [QUOTE="V. Kurt Bellman, post: 3150101, member: 71723"]Coupla points: 1) The design for the 2018 is pretty close to mandated in the law, which requires G. Washington's signature to dominate. 2) It is CLEAR there will ALWAYS be, from now on, at least one, and frequently two, multiple designs per year coin program ongoing. SO WHETHER or not to do one is OUT! The only choice is which one and on what subject. Get used to it. 3) Yes, I collect ALL the so-called Golden Dollars, all mints, all finishes. I have an utterly complete Prezzy set, Native American set, Sac set, SBA set, Ike set, and a nearly complete Peace dollar set, with only two unfilled holes in the NA set, based on MY criteria. While I do have them all in SOME finish, I am lacking the true circulation (non-matte) finish for the 2009 NA dollar. I've found some, just not nice enough for my set. All raw. 4) The CCAC is on the case, having rejected ALL the proposed 2018 reverses AND heaping disdain on the obverse. Kareem Abdul Jabbar is off the CCAC now and most of the current members, I know well enough to greet them at the ANA. They "have our back". 5) Forget complaining about the existence of this - it's a DONE DEAL! The best we can do is make it the best we can. Maybe we need to ask every Congresscritter to STOP DOING THE $1 note. That'll help for a start.[/QUOTE]
