 With the pres. dollars--they are a failure. Their main mistake I see is using a frontal portrait on such a low-profile strike. The " Peace dollar" was anti-climatic after the Morgan series, which looks good in both BU and well-circulated grades. For the same reasons, the "Mercury" dime series far outshines the Roosevelt series. |

I can't stand the Susan B's. The Pres Dollars are a close second, without the mint mark on the front. I didn't mind the Sacs, until they pulled the same stunt with the mint mark. Oh, and yes I have complete sets of all of them!  |

The date and mint mark should have never been moved to the edge. I collect by date and mint. With the Presidential dollar (unique obverse) and the Native American dollar (unique reverse), I can get by without the date. But the mint mark? I see no reason to collect both mints if I cannot see the mint mark when they are in my album. I have yet to buy a Presidential dollar album because of this. Do I get a 'date only' album for them? If I do, I may just put my proofs in there since the few I am getting from circulation have already started to turn. |

I don't really like the 3 cent silvers, because they're so tiny that they're hard to look at (not that the design is anything to look at), they gathered dirt easily so it's hard to find a nice-looking one, and they cost an awful lot of money for such a tiny coin.

Actually, regarding my post above almost three months ago, not the whole coin is terrible. The reverse is alright (since it is basically the Eisenhower reverse, which I like), but I still hate the obverse, though

How could anyone vote for that wonderful copper 2 cent piece? Any copper is great.
