Message:: [QUOTE="josh's coins, post: 1915160, member: 51487"]I have yet to see anyone sign this petition of yours so to state you have "many young people among our supporters" is a flat out lie. Next CoinTalk does not have a disliking for younger people. We have several members here who are 16 and younger and they get along just fine with everyone heck I'm 19 and I'd say I am well respected here by most people.Move on you are saying this discourages young people from bneing more engaged and have a say in the hobby. This is not true because we do not have a say in this hobby nobody does unless the US Mint has a voting contest for a reverse design like they did recenty with the HOF Coins. Collectors will collect whatever they want. Some only collect lincoln cents others a little of everything. Nobody has a say in what they can and can't collect.Lastly, You keep claiming that YOUR ideas is a good one. I hate to say it but it just is not a good idea. We have spent 9 pages now pointing out all of the flaws with your idea and at this point one would think you would realize that this is not a good idea. Nobody wants redesigns of old coins because it hurts the value of the actual classic coins and angers those who have those coins. Next nobody wants the mint to submit directly to PCGS and NGC because not everyone wants a slabbed coin among other reasons. It is best to just drop your petition nobody will support it for a wide variety of reasons.[/QUOTE]
