New Rarities

What new rarity is next.All the hype now about the high and low leaf quarters.They made it to the big time.The others not so big.
eg.....The speared Bison.....and all those insignifigant marks here and there that now we can't see anything without a magnifying
glass.When will it end .....or ....Will it...??
Would there be one of those unscrupulous mint employees looking to make some quick bucks like you read from years ago ????
Life is interesting and so is coin collecting...........image

    Just so nobody ever strikes a bunch of proof coins years after the date on them
    to sell to collectors and dignitaries after artificially damaging many of them in an
    attempt to make them look circulated.

    There's nothing like impaired NCLT issues selling for big bucks to make all collect-
    ors look a little weird.

    Yeah, like we would fall for that trick!

    There ya' go. That's exactly the classic crap I was thinking of.

    It would be pretty embarrassing if a modern coin of this ilk sold for stupid money. image
