These just become extras that we either save or have to try and sell. I don't really see the need for this duplication. Both of these sets have seen annual declines in sales for many years. I think adding something different might be a way to re-ignite interest in these sets. Yes, it needs approval but could be done. The quality control interest is based on what so many here have to deal with day in and day out. Minor die chips, cracks, mechanical doubling, die deterioration doubling, etc. that always seem to be a great find by newbies but has to be explained over and over again. And of course, I know that these are made for commerce and not necessarily with the collector in mind. Maybe it's too much to expect a higher standard of overall quality. Most business's take great pride in their work but the Philly Mint seems not to. And many times I have seen better coins come from circulation than I do in Mint sets. Just sayin'.[/QUOTE]
