<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Inspector43, post: 7605702, member: 89213&quot;]I have been a US Mint customer since 1959. I am no more. I have 13 grandkids (one more due in November) and 21 great grandkids. I am trying to get them interested. The US Mint is seriously challenging that hope. It is not just the bed time deals with the major dealers, but also, the coins themselves. Most denominations and variations are only available from the mint or coin dealers. Both charge a premium.</p><p><br /></p><p>Can you collect all the US Quarters by looking at your change - no. Dimes - no. Nickels - no. Cents - no. Halves - a real big no. You have packaging, shipping, promotion and fabricated rarity to pay for. In most cases you need to buy several just to get the one you want. The US Mint is not collector friendly. If anyone doesn&#039;t believe this, just go to the Red Book. Look at the issue price and present value of items from the mint. </p><p><br /></p><p>I am all in favor of boycotting all US Mint products and ignoring any attempt to get me interested in keeping up with the status symbols. I am already there.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
