The Congressional Coin Series

Coinosaurus

Are you all as disgusted as I am?

I propose the Congressional Coin Series.

Each congressman will be deported as soon as their coin is struck.

Collect them all

Back to coins!

The '89 congressional commem dollar was always one on my favorite modern commemorative designs..

I agree with the distinguished Coinosaurus.

I totally forgot about that commem coin design. I might need to pick one up.

Not a bad idea, however, it would take entirely too long... so let's have them struck in sets of twelve....every two months... that would hasten the process. Cheers, RickO

The Robin Williams quote about politicians comes to mind.

What would the main design element be for each? A turkey superposed on the congressman's electoral district?
Maybe add Mark Twain's quip on the edge (politicians---America's only homegrown criminal element).

My congressman is a good friend and a great person (both personally and politically). I would love to see my senators go somewhere else, we finally lose one next year, but that is 40 years too late to fix the damage done.

I am much more disgusted with the senate.

I have two good Senators and a total fool for a Congressman. I suppose it should average out, but it doesn't seem to be working.

I just sent two in for grading. They were part of a six coin set. Huge in MS70! As are the clad half dollars. I sent all six coins in! It is a Hail Mary submission but with numbers like that you just have to try.

Not that I am a big Obama fan, but I think they should dissolve the GOP and celebrate that event with a commemorative coin. I would buy two of those!

I think the Senate series should start. Also, in conjunction, maybe a commemorative on the Senate budget bills in history to remind us of the days when we did that kind of thing.

If we repealed the 17th ammendment, it would go a long way toward improving the cespool that Washington has become.

Think about it.

Put Sen. Ted Cruz on the plugged nickel!

Now that the spendaholics in congress got their way, I see a bright future for gold and silver prices.

Yup, gotta look at the bright side of the impending doom on the horizon.

Well, thanks to a recent vote we'll only need to mint the coins for 18 senators and 144 representatives. (Which is not to say they are the only ones who should leave; just that they have definitively shown themselves unworthy of holding public office.)

Mine, too. I own more than one, but my favorite isn't the -69, but a hazed NGC PF68 UCAM:



Cost me $21.23 including commission form Heritage nine years ago. Now I wouldn't sell it for a hundred.
