YoungNumismatist Valued Member United States 360 Posts	Posted 01/27/2013 10:50 pm I don't have this, but think it is beautiful and would love to have it. Also, the United States Mint should do something like this or the Canadian GITD Dinosaurs. Think outside the usual stuff and go for something beautiful that people will buy. Well, enough of my rant.

YoungNumismatist Valued Member United States 360 Posts	Posted 01/28/2013 3:38 pm That's what I meant, alganbagerap. I mean that they should make this kind of thing specifically for collectors. Report this Post to the Staff
commems CCF Master Historian of Commemorative Coins United States 12615 Posts	Posted 02/01/2013 3:35 pm I agree with alganbagerap, items such as this - attractive and novel as they might be - are not coins. Yes, they may have a denomination stamped on them and be called "coins" by those selling them, but the denomination is symbolic and in name only. Items like this are never meant to serve as money, and they aren't collector versions of coins that do circulate as money. I'm not opposed to non-circulating legal tender (NCLT) pieces such as this - I even collect some NCLT commemorative coins from the US and Canada - I just recognize them for what they are: medals that feature a symbolic denomination as part of their design. Personally, I hope the US Mint never produces gimmicky items such as this. Collecting history one coin or medal at a time! (c) commems. All rights reserved. Report this Post to the Staff
