<p>[QUOTE="Jwt708, post: 2254678, member: 32619"]Thanks for your opinion [USER=60292]@Endeavor[/USER] I think we are both saying the same thing with an exception. I don't like how the Mint will make the same coin only to repackage it three different times in various limited edition sets. You have a National Parks quarter, then a National Parks quarter in a mint set, then a proof set, then a silver proof mint set, then a special edition silver proof cent that leaves out the nickel and cent while including an ASE. Things like that I don't like. When they take the same stuff and just repackage it and call it something else. The packaging really doesn't add any value to me.</p><p><br /></p><p>Do I think the Mint makes too many commemoratives? I don't know. Most of the stuff they commemorate I don't care about and a lot of it feels like they're trying to appeal to various minority or special purpose groups. Girl Scouts? No thanks.</p><p><br /></p><p>Mintages of these commemoratives...here's where I think we disagree. They should make as many that will sell or that the people who get paid enough to figure it out think will sell.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
