[QUOTE="Vess1, post: 2397146, member: 13650"]Hey I'm not dissed. There's no hard feelings about it and I'm not disagreeing about the "official" commemorative license some people feel these need to be collected. Some of what the mint has done with this I can't and have no desire to defend. Ive just arrived at the point where I'm accepting what it is and anticipate that some of the worries will be set aside once product is in peoples hands. No doubt the strike up issues are completely due to the use of pure gold and the limits of the size of the planchets. Problems should have been rooted out and changed. As someone else stated, they needed to use an even number for marketing despite the fact that most of us would've rather seen exact dimensions regardless of final gold weight. Another fraction of a fraction of an oz would've went a long way. But then again, they wanted to stamp the weight on them and if they couldn't strike a neat little "1/10th" then what would it be? Maybe a simple "1/10+" wouldve been adequate to get the job done but now it's getting sloppy in the eyes of some.[/QUOTE]
