Other than @fiftysevener 's slightly more subtle political comment, this thread has dodged raindrops and stayed pretty apolitical. Impressive considering the topic.
Why am I not surprised this poster decided to air his political views inappropriately?
I see very few apolitical posts on this thread. They are almost all political, though mostly subtle. What do you think the references to Ft Sumter and DOGE are?
Throw em all in jail I say. The Collectors Universe U.S. Coin Forum is no place for politics. RGDS!
If the U.S. Coin Forum is no place for politics...why are so many coins covered with politicians/presidents ? You can only mention details of George Washington's bust, but do not mention why he's being honored on the quarter and what he stood for? It's okay to put the Capitol or Lincoln Memorial on coins and medals, but do not mention what happens inside those institutions ? I agree, this is no place for political arguments, but sometimes politics are just a natural spin on some of our designs.
