Interesting. I am a little displeased. This is one survey I have not received.  Regardless, this will be another nice product that I cannot afford. Just like the gold Kennedy half dollar last year. |

hey...don't be sad...just think, a platinum dime, quarter and half dollar. It will give roll hunters a whole new grail to search for!

I do not think they will be those exact sizes, instead following the current platinum bullion sizes. Tenth Ounce 16.5 mm
Dime 17.9 mm
Nickel 21.2 mm
Quarter Ounce 22.0 mm
Quarter Dollar 24.3 mm
Half Ounce 27.0 mm Okay, the nickel and quarter ounce are close.  |

Silver coins requires an act of Congress, whereas the Mint has leeway with gold and platinum. Personally I think there are too many special issues of this and that as it is, and then when the special finishes are included--oy! I kinda wish we were back in 1983 when there was just five coins the look forward to. Talk about killing the golden goose.

I got the email a few days ago but blew it off until I read this thread. Mine was Platinum orientated. I kept it real. I said go with silver and called them out on poor QC and hazed MOD proofs. If they want to ask $1500 for a coin with poor QC no way am I going to get on board. Even at $50 for a poor QC silver coin I am not going to accept it. I called them out on the Gold Kennedy ANA branch mint rioters and homeless straw buyers as well. Waiting for confirmation of my FREE 2016 Platinum Eagle for participating  |

I did not get the survey. While we would all like to see these in silver, I don't think that is going to happen, due to needing congress approval. So platinum is better than gold since it looks closer to silver. I would bet these would look nice in platinum. Maybe I could afford the 1/10 oz. hmmm. I really don't think the U.S. Mint would stoop low enough to make an ASE with a Christmas design. That is left up to private mints to do this. They have a reputation to uphold (I hope). |

So far the US Mint is using these repeatable trends as cash cows: 1. Reissuing old "classic" designs. (1986-present) 2. Special "finishes" a. Satin uncirculated (2005-2010) b. Reverse proof (2006-present) c. Burnished uncirculated (2006-present) d. vapor blasted (2010-present) e. Enhanced uncirculated (2013-present) 3. Off-metal strikes (2014-present) It's not bad considering what The Royal Mint, the RCM and Perth Mints have done with their collector offerings. I didn't include the bimetallic LoC eagle nor the UHR double eagle as those are still one-off offerings, but those too can become new trends. Edited by Bizybackson

I would love to see a series of circulating coins that bring back classic designs of the past, especially the Winged Liberty Dime and Standing Liberty quarter. I wouldn't have a problem with them being made in silver or other metals as long as they were also available in circulation compositions for us common folk. If the mint is going to make them in precious metals only then they should be denominated in appropriate amounts, fairly relative to the metal value. |
