<p>[QUOTE=&quot;CoinOKC, post: 196101, member: 2146&quot;]Well, I got a few rolls of these yesterday and I have to say that I&#039;m pretty much underwhelmed by them.&nbsp; As usual, the Mint has created yet another coin with very shallow relief and no &quot;basining&quot; whatsoever.&nbsp; Just run your finger over the designs - you can barely feel them.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The Washington obverse is rather dull-looking and the lettering is nothing spectacular (especially the tiny lettering under the portrait).&nbsp; The Statue of Liberty reverse is fine except for the &quot;$1&quot; designation.&nbsp; I think it makes the coin look like a token.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The edge lettering is a nice touch, but most of the coins I&#039;ve seen are very marked up.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I passed a few of these out yesterday for purchases.&nbsp; Most people just thought they were a SAC Dollar and didn&#039;t look twice.&nbsp; There was one girl who noticed it was different, gave it second glance then immediately dropped it in the cash drawer.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I read somewhere that the Mint was using a new rinse on the coins to keep them from turning ugly in circulation like the SACs do.&nbsp; Well, after just a few hours in my pocket and a little bit of handling, they began to lose their luster and take on that &quot;SAC sheen&quot;.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I think these coins are going to be a dud.&nbsp; I had high hopes for them, but so far I&#039;m disappointed.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
