Their original month end report showed 1,906,000 silver eagles... and now its been revised up to 2,451,000 . Look at silver prices up the last few days!<br />The beautiful silver proofs that were always there to buy from the US Mint are gone most likely forever!

The boy scout coin featured a girl on it, and the Forming a More Perfect Union Platinum coin was also not historically accurate. That phrase has no reference to racial Equality as the coins pretends to show, it was about uniting the states in the early years of the country.<br /><br />Hopefully they will be accurate from now on and stop making up things about history.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4433024393760369647.post-4628321336124662622010-09-03T19:31:14.282-07:002010-09-03T19:31:14.282-07:00You can see this stringency paying off; the Garfie...You can see this stringency paying off; the Garfield designs are actually pleasing, and a distinct step above many previously approved designs (see: Edgar Buchanan/Augustus Gloop reverse, Boy Scout obverse, 2009 plat proof reverse, etc. etc. ...)Max Cherrynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4433024393760369647.post-38837248298642165702010-09-03T17:25:53.640-07:002010-09-03T17:25:53.640-07:00To the CCAC....stick to your guns boys and girls, ...To the CCAC....stick to your guns boys and girls, maybe, someday soon, the powers-to-be will listen.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4433024393760369647.post-55803682056001660932010-09-03T16:39:39.041-07:002010-09-03T16:39:39.041-07:00I'm not ready to soil my shorts just yet.

If I am not mistaken he has been the one responsible for approving the most pc of all designs out those submitted on several coins. To wit; the BSA commemorative coin is one of them. Hopefully he just needs some education or is getting OTJ training and will do better in the future. We will just have to wait and see.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4433024393760369647.post-91137636805040672842010-09-03T14:22:07.465-07:002010-09-03T14:22:07.465-07:00Thanks for sharing this, Michael.
