<p>[QUOTE=&quot;bullionboy, post: 19008, member: 1468&quot;]When the Sac came out I was kind of excited. The dollar coin for me is the prize of the hobby in many ways. I love love them all even the SBA! When I first saw the Sac I thought it looked cool, just because it was different. After awhile the color got old and the obverse seemed uninspiring.</p><p><br /></p><p>I had one last hope in 2000. That the mint would issue a 90% silver Sac in the Silver proof set. Alas they did not! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie4" alt=":mad:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; This really bothered me. If a silver set is issued the dollar coin must be silver. The Sac would have looked nice in silver <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> Why would the mint do this? For collectors a new Silver dollar would be a great thing. </p><p><br /></p><p>Now they have a new plan which I have not heard much news on lately. No matter what they do a new dollar coin needs to be issued as silver for the silver proof set. </p><p><br /></p><p>In 2001 they issued the buffalo Silver dollar, commerative. If they can do that why not a Silver Sac?</p><p><br /></p><p>If for some stupid reason they don&#039;t want to issue a Silver dollar in the silver set, maybe it&#039;s because of the extra state quarters, why not issue one ala cart?</p><p><br /></p><p>What are everybodies thought on this, and will the mint ever do the right thing?</p><p><br /></p><p>I hope the Sac goes. This coin could never replace the $1 green back.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
