Legend; I’m hiring you for my marketing team. The MINT website just crashed after you posted that rave review. I actually think the Olympic 5 OZ is pretty awesome, but some of the other recent ones…hmmm….not too sure.

Still can’t find Ft McHenry or a flag on the $5 gold piece so I’m thinking they misunderstood what was being commemorated on that one. But, beauty is in the eye of the beholder so buy all the coins you want – I still don’t think they’ll sell 500,000 silvers. Also not sure where I’m going to be left behind at. As a collector I only need one of each, and as an investor I don’t think these coins will reap big profits for anybody,

The Star Spangled Banner coins are lovely, especially the dollar. As well, the ATB quarters, especially ALL OF THEM for 2012, are Exquisite. Just simply superb design and execution. If you are not putting multiples aside, you are gonna be left behind. I see the 500,000 limit proof Banner dollar selling out, it’s that nice. I told my wife I was buying two sets, and was gonna send the lesser set back, but that is not true. I am keeping both of them, and I am buying the five ounce ATB coins too, now that I have seen the smaller but still stunning quarters.

“Strong” sales has to do more with Gold coin sales nearing $6 million and not the number sold… It’s all about the money.

It’s sad when one has to think that 11,622 is a strong sales debut, especially when other coins have sold out their 50,000 mintage in just days. Maybe the mint isn’t designing very attractive coins so people have no desire to own them.
