Thad I think your logic is plausible but I'm hoping it's premature. Still, look at that Danbury Mint and that big shot numismatist shilling for those President Dollars while misrepresenting them left and right. When the gravy is flowing the Mint wants to be right there with their kisser under the faucet, too, that's just elementary. I suppose for that reason the Mint has been stalling some, but that in time these will get out to the Fed banks, and in circulation. We're almost ready for the next release, if they're indeed going by one every fiscal quarter. They'll play their little games, and make their quick bucks, but I don't think they're going to be holding all that billions of coin from circulation, forever. I'm going to give these things another month, and I think they'll be in circulation...
I like them. I want them. I want to pay $4.50 a roll for .50 face? i'm not sure yet. I'll decide Friday.
