coinrat2 – if you think it’s garbage then don’t buy it. Personally I think it’s a very appropriate design. What was your suggestion?

Is the Mint having a loss of styling like the US Auto industry had in the 1980’s? US Mint, the collecting community is yearning for the coin design stylings of the Golden Age of Coins!

Perhaps a copyright infringement case will be forth coming. But again as I stated earlier, just another piece of Garbage from the US Mint.
