<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1914534, member: 26302&quot;]But, the point of many of us would be an MS65 St Gaudens today would be worth much more IF NOT for the mint already restriking this design. The mint STOLE MONEY from existing collectors when they restruck the coin. Same with the UHF coin, it took demand away from the originals. Now, there is no easy way to quantify the amount of the damage, but its there.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now you are wanting to do the same with something like a Coronet head eagle. Don&#039;t you realize if they restrike these, (to please those who want one but do not want to pay the going price today), that the prices of the originals will decline? I am not ok with saying we should intentionally steal money from the owners of coronet head eagles just so some modern collectors can buy them cheaply. For full disclosure, I do not own one so I am not speaking selfishly.</p><p><br /></p><p>What would be next? Should the mint restrike Chain cents and artificially patinate them for us as well? I sure would like to own a nice chocolate brown AU Chain cent for $100 or less.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
