I find most the art work on the modern NCLT stuff from the US mint to be of poor quality. Designs now seem to be looked at more as illustrations than as sculpture, and it shows on the resulting coins as a lack of detail and relief.

Between this thread and the other (Why do you buy NCLT "coins"?) it can be agreed that if everyone liked the same stuff, it would be pretty boring.
The powers that be, blew an opportunity by making the 1916-2016 Centennial "coins" out of gold, instead of circulating clad or even it's original 90% silver. Personally, I think that the circulating clad would have been a real eye opener for the general public who might have gotten a charge out of circulating coinage since the State Quarter Program took off in 1999.
Todays designs are blah! It's no wonder that "cashless" transactions are becoming more popular...ugly money.

I like the ASE's and AGE's...I bought the U.S. Marshall coin because I liked it.... Depends on the coin.... I do not sell them, just for personal enjoyment. Cheers, RickO

It is more the mint/treasury officials who refuse to accept anything out of the ordinary when it comes to artistic style.

Aye. And just to keep a few up to date; where would we be without Code Talkers ? Just a commemorative coin away from a set of pretty coins that tone faster than silver.
For me coin collecting is a hobby first, and if I make money on my collection that's second. If I was hedging against inflation or and economical collapse I'd by salt! Really cheap and a great investment against starvation.

I'd be stocking up cigarettes & cheap booze for re-sale ! ! !
BTW, About all I buy from the Mint now are the Kennedy rolls for my roll set and mint sets to break up and fill holes.

Need the following OBW rolls to complete my 46-64 Roosevelt roll set: 1947-P & D; 1948-D; 1949-P & S; 1950-D & S; and 1952-S. Any help locating any of these OBW rolls would be gratefully appreciated!

Yup.

On the 100th anni. Mercury Dime....if they would have made an actual coin that went in an actual set like the 1996-W I would have bought one.
I'm not bashing this stuff.......I just don't have any interest in it.
I'm just adding to my post count, thinking those who refuse to buy might be ignorant to the world around them.
So...if I don't want to buy mint STUFF made yesterday....I'm ignorant????
You sir need help.

Plus, I don't feel like getting caught on the short end of the flipping game.
The 1999 $5 Geo. Washington I like, also like the $5 FDR coin (can't recall the year on that one).
UHR Saint is also nice.
Given the option between a NCLT and the same $$$ to spend on a different type of coin, I'd be likely to choose the 2nd option.
For $15,000, I can buy a really nice coin or two or complete a small set of coins (peace dollars or $2.5 Indian Head Eagles).
And I would have something as opposed to a bunch of bullion "stuff".
Because of this...

Was that while he was offering 30cents to the dollar?

In addition to Issue Price and Face Value, they should have included Intrinsic Value.
Also, imagine a 5 oz Lincoln cent

It took over 4 months to get my order to my door. Ridiculous.
99.8% of the US will have no clue about the centennial of the 1916 coins.
That's unfortunate.
