Ummm......read the rules.....no political threads....
Unbelievable.
I'm sorry, I thought this is a site about coins and the history behind them?
All throughout coinage history, coins are symbolic of presidents and historic events.
In my opinion this is the most historic point in American history. A world changing event just took place.
You guys don't think this is note worthy?
So you are saying no conversation is allowed about our Founding Fathers, Revolutionary history, or Presidents and coinage?
Not saying that at all. Just trying to give you a heads up to the following. Read #3:

You have me wondering why members collect coins? I thought history was most important in coin collecting?
You have just witnessed a major historical event that rivals, or exceeds the American Revolution, Founding of our Republic, winning our independence.
Does anyone think the US Mint should produce a coin commemorating the day we lost our Republic, 01/06/2021?
You know the old tale. Toss a frog in a pot of boiling water and it will try to get out. Slowly bring the pot of water to a boil and it will just sit there and cook. Well the burner under the pot has been on in this country for several decades now....and the water just started boiling.

I think this is a political thread disguised as a coin thread. It wouldn't be the first time a member here committed "suicide by moderator".

Agreed. I know I run the risk of being booted off this forum for even replying here. But I try to learn a new word from the dictionary every day, and today's new word is "egregious", meaning "shockingly bad". This thread is an egregious violation of this coin forum's rules. Hoping our moderators check in soon.
History is not always pretty and comes wrapped in a bow. It has always been my knowledge that coin collectors are more history oriented then the general population. Coin collectors tend to more in tune with historical events taking place past and present. Having said that, I don't believe there is a serious coin collector out there, that hasn't seen what has just taken place in our country and the magnitude of this historical event. Stifling free speech has had a hand in bringing us to this point in time.
That is a very negative thing to say and uncalled for.

You do have an option to move to another thread. Why are you trying to get me banned and this thread removed?
Do you not think this historical event will affect future coinage and precious metals?
You can be banned from the site for this. You might consider deleting your comments before the moderators notice or someone else reports you.
All comments reflect the opinion of the author, even when irrefutably accurate.
Wrong. YOU are trying to get you banned and this thread removed.
Not "no conversation" but "appropriate conversation"...as it relates to coins.
All comments reflect the opinion of the author, even when irrefutably accurate.
This is sad to see some here so enraged about a discussion that affects our money and coinage. I may have to reassess my reasons for collecting coins and money. Maybe it's time to sell off my collection and move on from the kind of people that would attack a members legitimate discussion. I guess discussing every event in history can offend someone, disagreeing is one thing, but petty attacks on other members is unbecoming to the coin collecting world.
Moderators will have to decide if I am banished from this site and I will live with that. I'm very disappointed in some of you.
You are doing your best to steer people away from this industry for good.
An enacted U.S. Federal Law is the authorization mechanism for the U.S. Mint to officially manufacture and legally issue any new U.S. Government coin or medal. An enacted U.S. Federal Law establishes the authorized precept for a new U.S. Government coin or medal, which may include but is not limited to its intended purpose, design scheme, composition, dimension, weight, mintage, and production period. Who enacts a U.S. Federal Law (your homework assignment) ?
IMO this thread should be removed but not the op

We are not enraged. We didn't attack you. Most of us simply suggested that FOR YOUR OWN BENEFIT you might rethink this thread. If you want to play Russian Roulette with the Ban Hammer, that's up to you.
We've lost a LOT of members in the last couple of years due to political discussions that went off the rails. We were just trying to keep the Tribe together.
As for your "legitimate discussion", it is NOT. This is a U.S. coin forum and you are not discussing a U.S. coin. You are positing that the Mint might be able to strike a coin around a political event. That is a political event masquerading (barely) as a coin topic. There are rules here created by the host, not by the members.
You could have a "legitimate discussion" about your prostate or your wife's breast enhancement or your daughter's music recital, but not here on the "U.S. coin" forum.
But, it's up to you.

I have to wonder if the OP posted this in order to get banned, and possibly get others banned as well. We have seen before when users tried to bring others down with them.
It is not a question of whether or not anyone agrees with him, but whether or not it is allowable here. And the answer very clearly is "no".

politics = yuck. not for this area

Hmmmm.
No. Any other cool coin questions?
I've went back and read his original posting several times. Seems like he's just using the U.S. Mint as a thinly veiled basis to make his post relevant to the forum. He needs to go away. Either by his own keyboard or Heathers.
What a poor quality OP and thread. Why has it not been deleted???
Glad I got in on this before it goes poof! It always bothers me when I'm late to the show.
No, but I imagine private issuers will, much as they did in the 1830s, 1860s, 1890s. Feel free to be one of them, if you like.

I'll give Golden 1 credit for one thing. He said, " I guess discussing every event in history can offend someone....... ". Well I think he's right about that and we do on occasion discuss historical events around here. Coin collecting and history go hand-in-hand and probably most of us are history buffs of one sort or another. So.....let's just be cool headed. Somebody was bound to make a comment on the current "situation." There's enough people already fighting among themselves. Let's don't bring it here. But I do understand the frustration.
I have to leave now. Little two year old Hydrantette Ginny just crawled up on my lap. She has a cup of yogurt and wants to see pictures of Minnie Mouse on Papa's tablet. So......adios amigos.....I have more important fish to fry.
Where's the moderators
The OP is referring to the 1904 election of Theodore Roosevelt who was against ugly coins.

Not sure how this is still here...
mods need to delete this garbage - be gone delusional op
A US capital police officer died trying to protect our freedoms.
Shame.
What was the cause of his death?

Insurection
Long enough. At least some of you know how I feel about this piece of 💩
There are now a few people on this thread tryng very hard to bait other members and send this thread even farther over the edge.
I hope people will flag any posts as necessary to put an end to this.
I flagged it after the OP's second comment and that has not done anything to end it. (1/7/2021 at early am)

Go back and read the OP’s original post.
He has taken down the offensive language...
Some of you guys are making my tongue bleed.
While coin design is the result of political history that does not justify discussing politics on a coin forum, especially when the rules outlaw it. Freedom of the press belongs to those that own one. Last I checked, PCGS owns this one.
