Buy Forever Stamps at 46 cents and lock that price in for as long as you have the stamps.

I would like to see the post office make the cost of 1st class mail an even 50 cents per envelope & postcards 35 cents. Doing away with the 1 cent coin in the USA would be a great idea. I also will not miss Saturday mail. They should also make the 5 cent coin out of a cheaper metal while people adjust to the loss of the 1 cent coin then eventually do away with the nickel, too. I noticed in the Bahamas they have a really small 1 cent coin, smaller than our dime. Interesting.

Right on, Victor. Special labels only mean more money for the labeling companies because people have bought in to them as if they mean something. A 70 coin is a 70 coin is a 70 coin regardless of the color or sparkles or however else the grading companies try to make is seem special.

In reply to jim.

I remarked on Facebook, on NGC’s 25th anniversary retro black holders, with, “Who cares.” They replied, “We do!” When all is said and done, when all labels cost the same, get whatever floats your boat. I started with the brown label, because there was no such thing as Early, First or Eagle or Star label. Now, every label under the sun is offered. Coin Vault now offers their, “exclusive label” for only $10.00 more. Wow, what a deal. Some sets, ATB Quarters, for instance, come in only one label, one price, two grades. It’s not the label, it’s the grade. Get the highest grade, you can afford. Label, Schnabel! 🙂

Yeah, that special grading labeling makes the coin worth so much more.

Can’t wait for NGC and/or PCGS to jump all over these rolls for special grading labeling.

Well if the dollars value gets any smaller, a penny sized dollar coin is in order.

There are millions and millions of pennies out there in jars and boxes and bottles in people’s closets and shelves and wherever else they disappear to, and the mint keeps making more every year. It will be a very long time after they’re phased out before a coin of the same size will be issued again. Also there are millions of President and Native American $1 coins in storage that will be used before they think about changing the size of the $1 coin. Sorry, I’m not convinced that shrinking the $1 coin to penny size will happen in my life time if ever.

gatewestcoin.com is even worse than the mint. It’d be nice to have a roll but $14!!!!! dollars shipping for an order under $100, no thanks not participating in that scam. No way it should be more than about $10-11. I can send a pack big enough for and heavier than a roll of pennies to Italy for $17-$18. Not gonna pay 14 for Winnipeg to Toronto. hahahahaha
