Gotta agree .. and those Mint folks probably get paid salary and benefits equal to that of real managers …

Jim – Well said and I totally agree. My mint, the Royal Canadian Mint does the same, A better business platform would be (for numismatic coins) allowing the consumer to visualize the product well in advance so they can plan – save money if required – to purchase coins that not only spark their numismatic desire but have potential to complete a collection.

As much as we have to live with it I do not accept that the US Mint has no idea what dates later in the year that any particular coin will be launched. It is beyond me why they refuse to publish the dates for all future coin launches for each year. Back when we had an actual director of the mint (Edmund C Moy Sep 2006 – Jan 2011) a launch schedule for the entire year was published each year. Now that we have these namby pamby gutless SES provided seat warmers status quo is de rigueur these days it seems. Too lazy, inept, or afraid to take any action that might actually exhibit any management capability and/or decision making skills. IMHO

Old Collector / Joe – it is. A coin community is more than like it or dislike it comments about new coin designs. There are so many factors involved, not just love of a coin design but community and ones ability to pass knowledge. Seth has a wealth of knowledge and I value not only your comments but also his. In the world of numismatics / bullion – we can always learn from others and believe you me, I have made my mistakes along the way. When first starting out, I only purchased modern high end gold proof coins – took a bath on them. Love the design or not, I am not a rich man, have earned every cent through hard work and over the years learned quality over quantity / modern proof in limited buys for the love of the design, stack for the future – bullion.
