Absolutely zero. Maybe they should have had the Kardashians photoshop Tubman pics for her. Not big enough to use as scarecrow, too expensive to repel flies. At a time when they made up 2% of population they want to remove 90 for 1 any southern history. Expecting to have 100% of every slave to have their own chapter while erasing 100% of other’s history. Good bad or indifferent. I don’t see ww2 being removed from textbooks or school curriculum. French and Indian War still included. I think the injuns have a valid complaint. But, once the history rewritten, erased and destroyed, then no proof of what happened, so no need to pay reparations. No special caucus or channels, or treatment. I wonder who they think will give them money once they wipe out whites. I guess they turn on Asians next. And then the browns. Except for their women. They love white women. That’s all athletes and rappers seem to marry. Hmm. Wonder why.

I did not know this. I thought the surcharges went to the non-profits automatically. Guess I have quite a refund coming – I’ve bought every modern proof commemorative since the 1982 George Washington half dollar.

The media sure gives all these individuals their 15 minutes of fame. But I guess if you scoop these ‘diversity’ types from off the street, like in Chicago for instance, can one be surprised if their habits remain the same. By the way, how many of the 7 iterations of the Tubman series will you be buying. I don’y think these will last long, they look so nice!

Correction, sort of, to this article & to the U.S. Mint’s website, brochure mailings etc. – not 1 cent in the surcharges we pay for the official commemorative coins required by Congress & the president under public laws goes to the non-profit organizations unless a specific commemorative coin program makes a profit after all expenses for that program incurred by the Mint. Many such U.S. Mint commemorative coin programs have not made a profit & the Mint keeps the surcharges we pay to do creative accounting to show no lose, but no profit so that they are not required by law toml make a payout to the non-profit agencies listed in the public law. Such a scam! If you just buy one of each of the 3 Proof coins, you are paying the Mint a surcharge (a tax), of $50. Contact your congressional representatives in Washington DC & demand all your past surcharge money back from the coin programs over the past like 25 years since this change in the coin program law was changed that didn’t make a profit & therefore were not paid out at all, but kept by the Mint. “We want our surcharge money back U.S. Mint!” (Or at least a credit on our Mint account).

Even when ya give preference, and make a job title specifically for them, they still prove time and time again that it’s never enough. They must also stick it to the man. Maybe that dolezal chick will take her spot.

Dazed,

I won’t be charged 1 penny, or cent, for anything related to that Tubman series. Why you ask, because I won’t be purchasing any coin with such an ugly portrait on the obverse. I have about as much desire to fund those two public funded enterprises as I do about funding Hunters crack/cocaine habit. I kinda hope the mint continues on with their DEI bullish*t, as it enables me to funnel even more dollars into investments that are paying me very nice dividends and returns. I see that the FED (Powell) is considering lowering interest rates three times next year. Thank God there’s nothing happening next year.

I have correction, somehow I missed the article from CN about the Tubman ceremony from end of Nov.

When sold, and as directed by Public Law 117-163, each coin will include surcharges of $35 for the $5 gold coin, $10 for the silver dollar, and $5 for the clad half dollar. These surcharges will be directed towards supporting the missions of two important institutions: the National Underground Railroad Freedom Center in Cincinnati, Ohio, and the Harriet Tubman Home, Inc., in Auburn, New York.

Not educational or for other commemorative purposes. Equal, but better. Equal but preferential. Equal but special. Equal but exempt. We deserve what everyone else gets, plus interest. And for each pronoun or identifier they use, adds another exponential increase. Also, notice for thr tubman thr list of honored guests were much longer. Instead of surcharges, just charge the same amount and donate the cash from the sale. I mean seriously, you can’t afford $35 on a coin with a $900 markup? Or $10 on a coin markup by almost 400%. Over spot.

Maybe the mint should switch to gofundme and have the collectors donate to the coins they support and then adjust the mintage and distribution of funds accordingly. With cost already inflated I am not paying an additional fee just to buy. My tax dollars should be paying for the upkeep of these memorials and parks to begin with. You can bet that 99% of the surcharges will go toward the salary of the dei hires they pic to oversight how the money is spent. Or more likely, king biden will decree by EO to reappropriate the funds to fund foreign war, to purchase Palestinian flags for universities, or to pay off hunter’s car payment or escorts for the night.
