If the USMINT gives this coins the face value of bullion, It would’t make a difference, just Like the Big old One Dollar face value on them right now.
sure it says ONE DOLLAR, but no one ever sells it for a buck, Please for the Love of God, am not at all suggesting to go back to The GOLD DAYS, But We as collectors and investers buy this coins hoping they to go up in price some day, How Cool would it be if you Had a $38 dollar silver coin 30 yrs from now when silver is $324.78 an ounce, or whatever the price may be. It would add Numanistic Value for sure, as suppouse to a boring $1 face value.

Who Are We Kiddding.

These bullion coins should bear an “S” mintmark (as should any cents made in the West Point facility when it gets pressed into service) if not for historical precedent, at least for honesty (or for assay purposes). If anything, so long as the mint doesn’t deliberately prolong the practice of issuing SAEs from the San Francisco mint, the program I think would receive a boost from collectors of this stuff. In addition, it would give the SAE set character. After all, weren’t branch mints created to address demand like this in the past? Imagine if New Orleans had not placed mintmarks on their coins…

your own post shows why they can’t. what happens when the price changes to whatever, do they change the face value every month when they make more. how well would that work?
