Anybody else get the mint survey about the gold buffs and possible design changes? And maybe some fractional action?
I voted no on the design change, but said if they did that artist submissions would be entertaining. And a big yes on fractionals across the board, would love to have that option again.

Yes for me too on the fractionals!
Privy mark?! No please!
I have lost interest in what the mint is trying to screw us with.
There is a thread on the coin forum.
I would think a reverse proof in a 4 coin set woul sell like crazy.
But I would also say they are getting back to too many issues and should stick with core issues with the occasional special issue, like the UHR, 25th ann set.
They probably feel like they are missding out on money, but they need only to look ath the plat proof issues and the mint to order 75th 2 coin set plus the BEP/Mint 1 coin-1 note set. when they had 10000 plat proofs and 100k 25th sets people were killing themselves to get them, when they upped the mintage suddenly the public didn't go crazy for them. And relatively speaking the BEP/Mint issue was a flop because it was just another issue.
If they keep minting frac buffs, especially at full sales mintages vs. limited ones, then it becomes just another coin.
I'm not saying restrict the mintages, I'm saying restrict the number of issues and that will make them more special.
