<p>[QUOTE=&quot;masterswimmer, post: 24614566, member: 102022&quot;]I felt the same way you so eloquently stated right here. Then my attitude changed. I was also unable to fill all the holes. I was not able to afford to fill a specific hole (think to 1995 W). </p><p><br /></p><p>My frustration with the Mint turned into appreciation. Why appreciation you ask? Because of the Mints utter disregard for the true collectors in the hobby I have completely, 100%, ceased buying anything from the Mint years ago. They inadvertently, unintentionally, and thoughtlessly saved me a boatload of money.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thank you US Mint for making me open my eyes. Even the coins, sets, commemoratives, you offered that I did buy (think 1970&#039;s-current proof and mint sets) have lost almost all value. I can literally open the sets from most of those years and spend the coins for face value and not lose numismatic &#039;value&#039;.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
