Re: Do you see many Kennedy Halves in Circulation? You should.

The only time I see them is when folks are down to their last nitty gritty change jar. That’s when you’ll see the Kennedys, Ike’s, SBAs, etc…. Often time I’ll see some proof coinage mixed in. Likely someone popped sets and just sacrificing it to get that last pack of smokes or whatever until payday.
That’s about it, just add the bicentennial quarters that have lost 75% to inflation.

And they'll make 10X that cost in revenue in the first year alone.

That is 'estimated' construction cost............Government [MASSPORT] operational expenses will multiply that by at least 200%

Re: The US Mint saw a big sales decline in 2024
@jmski52 said:
I dropped out of several Modern coin series about 5 years ago due to the rising costs and gimmicky varieties that the Mint decided to push. Focus isn't a bad thing.
I also find the Mint's new website formatting to be a real pain in the ass.
Yes, I should have added that the redesign of the mint website has probably had an impact on sales as well. It is hard to find some products now, and you have to click many times to find certain products that are buried deep in the site.
I think 2025 may be the start of real low mintage 1 ounce coins.

At least now that they have a proven head coach and a promising young QB they should have a much better chance of convincing free agents to sign here.I hope they give him the most say in the draft process, I have no reason to trust in anyone else in the organization at this point
Fingers crossed, man. If Vrabel does get that final say on picks, Its going to be interesting to see what he does with that 4th overall pick. At a time when this roster is begging for a Left Tackle & WR1, does he go with someone like Penn State DE Abdul Carter if available? If BB were in that situation, Carter would be the pick and the fanbase would vilify Bill to no end, would they do the same for Vrabel? 🤷♂️
I'll have to dig up what some of his drafts were like while watching the first game today,

sitting here watching this game and can't help but wonder when Pitt is going to move off Tomlin. he has the creativity of a slothseems like the ceiling is an uber-boring, outdated brand of football that never results in a losing season, yet stands zero chance of amounting to anything in the playoffs
seriously, when is the last time you saw a lightning strike by Pittsburgh on offense
they are just brutal to watch. it's like i'm watching the Chargers all over again
Pittsburgh and the Chargers are nearly identical in that regard lol
The Chargers with Herbert seem to be exactly the same as the Philip River’s led Chargers. Sometimes they’re good enough to make the playoffs but when they do it’s one and done. Never much of a threat.
