I would agree, except for the fact that these coins were specifically made to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the original coins instead of just randomly "borrowing" the designs for the sake of nostalgia. Still a gimmick, true, but one I'm happy to participate in. Similar to the recent 50th anniversary gold Kennedy half dollar. Having a gold Kennedy half dollar every year would be weird, but making one specially to commemorate the 50th anniversary? Fine by me!

Russ789 Pillar of the Community United States 623 Posts	Posted 09/12/2016 1:22 pm I like all 3 of the coins and plan on purchasing them. I got a slabbed dime off ebay that shipped today. I am debating buying the SLQ from the mint and getting it slabbed or just waiting and buying one already slabbed. Some people hang art work...I display coins. Report this Post to the Staff
Space22 New Member 29 Posts	Posted 09/22/2016 12:11 am The 2016 Mercury Centennial dime is one of three pieces being offered by the U.S. Mint marking the 100th Anniversary. Inclusive of this set is the Standing Liberty quarter 1/4 ounce being offered for $485, and the yet to be released Walking Liberty half-dollar 1/2 ounce rounding out the three. These commemorative coins are not something we believe has investment potential. Remember, these coins are a business strike, not proof or uncirculated. The 24 karat gold will demonstrate a weak strike as the content of the coin remains somewhat soft, having no properties to strengthen the surfaces. Report this Post to the Staff
