In reply to Rick. Agreed. It is interesting however, that TonyGA received the same error, and subsequent new COA from last years' Liberty Medals..The Mint did nothing about the apparent same mistake this year? Strange.

They must be loosing track of the many, many products that are available for your collecting pleasure! The Mint is heavy on job creation! Yay !– And it looks good on the Big Guy boss’s jobs report to boot!…
All kidding aside, I am convinced that the recent Mint hirees, all the way to the top spot Mint Director, are the best and the brightest of all applicants. They were surely hired/appointed because of Merit and nothing more…

In reply to DAVESWFL. I just checked around and it seems that US Mint palladium is selling for around $2k plus. Apmex is selling some graded ones for $4k. I’ll pass. Still to expensive.

Well I guess we will know when AI begins use at the US Mint? Why or how, one may say? Well, then, in theory they will STOP PRINTING ERRORS on the COA’s and or packaging they offer, on their overpriced wares! Truly, “WHAT IN Sam Hill” is going on at the US Mint, that they’re unable to understand and correctly identify a “MEDAL” vs a “COIN”? It isn’t that hard. If the word “dollar” or a “$” doesn’t appear on the metallic item, it is a medal! Yep, ANOTHER printing mistake and the COA’s for the “Liberty & Britannia Silver Medals, say COIN! WTF! Either Fire Ventris or the entire group involved in the proofing, printing and production of packaging and COA’s. Is this how the US Mint justifies their outrageous pricing? How much money has the continued errors in printing accurate details on packaging/COA’s, been costing customers per year? Printing up, then shipping new COA’s for their mistakes isn’t free by any means. WHY, WHY are they so beyond inept? This to err is human is a load of BS IMO, as at this point there is absolutely “no excuse”, for these continued mistakes! C’mon on US Mint, Ventris Gibson, whoever signs off on these printing errors, pull your heads out of your keester! SMH PS Please, Proof, Print, PRIOR to PRINTING and Producing Packaging! SERIOUSLY…

Interesting thread. We’ve got a really good bunch of coin bloggers here now. Coin News has morphed into something really grand. No longer mourning the loss of the MNB.

That’s a big wheel!
Well, I checked it out with my daughter.. Sure enough the 2 photos above are in the “among other’s” locations!
The Church is called ‘Matthias Church’, and the tall statue scene is called ‘Hero’s Square’… Both are in Budapest, Hungary!… Once again, I have learned something new today!

In reply to CaliSkier. Kaiser, might I also additionally suggest,”Enhanced Ultra High Relief”, for one’s collecting pleasure?
