As far as the first spouse coins, I would like to see the Mint use the total authorized mintage for each option and let them sell out regardless of breakdown between Uncs and proofs. No more equal 20000 per option. Otherwise there is NO motivation to acquire the Uncirculated versions, and as such us Unc. collectors are penalized for our preferences.

If they do that, then people complain that it takes three months to get their coins. At least this way the coins were already minted (or in the process of being minted), and it "only" took a month to get them. If you let market decide the proof/uncirc breakdown, then you can't begin making them until they sell out--otherwise how do you know how many to make?!
I heard they were making a French version of Medal of Honor. I wonder how many hotkeys it'll have for "surrender."

Be honest......... How many people bought FS coins purely to collect? Be honest now........if yours are in hand but still in mint sealed box then you can't say you bought them to collect.

If I could have sold one for enough to keep the second, I'd have collected one. It didn't work out that way, though, and I'm not too bothered.

They should just do a 25,000/15,000 split for proof/unc.
Most people buy the proof anyway. All the comm. only say 100,000 max. and the cards fall at proofs 2 or 3 times the mintage of the Unc.

Well done, Longacre.

Be honest now........if yours are in hand but still in mint sealed box then you can't say you bought them to collect.
And I will be collecting all of the Uncs, and 4 of the proofs.
Guess which 4?
