<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Paddy54, post: 6281519, member: 19250&quot;]Even when the U.S. mint went retro and made the gold Mercury dimes, SLQ and Walker half they did a horrible job of copying a timeless design. </p><p>The 1989 ASE has a better look and design&nbsp; than any of the newer improved ones IMHO.</p><p>About 5 to 8 years ago the World Fair of Money was held in Germany Berlin...all of the countries that produced bullion silver coins made special coins with privys marks on them.</p><p>All but the U.S. not that the original ASE is a bad looking coin...it was a chance for US to shine....instead&nbsp; </p><p>All the talk was about countries who rose up to the occasion minting quality coins and were the talk of the show.</p><p>You either lead, or follow...or sit on the bench. The U.S. mint butt is full of splinters!</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Any cartoonists of the 40&#039;s,50&#039;s and 60&#039;s could do a better design then what is coming out of the mint today.</p><p>I haven&#039;t made any purchases in just about 10 years now...unles it was to flip it and unload it for a profit...and these days I wouldn&#039;t take the chance as again the stuff is garbage.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
