I thought collector versions should be the show place for our Mint&#039;s best efforts. Paying an additional premium for BETTER quality is worth it, and making the best for this premium, should be their goal. But when you look back in time, and can see a better product being made then, well something has gotten lost. As a collector, this bothers me. So since this a personal thing, I&#039;ll vote with my feet (as they would say), and move from these current standards back to the ones I feel were better. I don&#039;t think I&#039;ll be jeopardizing the value of my collection by doing this.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
