I love them and hate them for as I look at the edge the lettering is not the same on all of them eg face up lettering upside down or right side up  |

As a foreigner I think they are great, not that I can't get my hands on them because you have to play like $6 or more for these comms from the US, my State Quarter series stops somewhere around 2001 and I only have one comm nickel as well, but they make american coins more interesting and they tell us something about the US, which most coins do not do. |

I voted love them. The idea only not the coins. Think its a good way to remember the Presidents. The mint could of came up with a much nicer looking coin. Seeking:Collecting all of them Rainman |

Here's another reason to hate them: www.Deleted004.comThey are only worth $0.07 each when all is said and done. That shows how much profit they make on each one you don't circulate! The State Quarters are worth $0.07 each as well. The apparently wanted a way to massively increase their profit margin. Just think if the ' State Quarters' were 'state golden dollars'. Edit:I keep editing, and it keeps deleting my link to metal value of golden dollars. Trying to outsmart the bad word filter is a no no, any link that shows up "www.deletedxxx.com" means that site is in the bad word filter and shouldn't be used on this forum, Edited by Bryan1315Edit2:Sorry, I thought the site just didn't like me last night! I suppose you got reasons for blocking that site... Lesson learned. Edited by ratio411

voted hate em Some of the designs are attractive but most are very unappealing. If it weren't a series and it was just a normal issue that last as long as a Washington quarter has....would you love to collect it? |

Voted "hate them"...... I started out "loving them".....but once one begins to realize the "billions minted" and all of the "repackaging" ploys in "proof" and "uncirculated" condition.......there is just soooooo much of "this" out there now and will continue to be out there for soooooo long........I don't know....it just ruins it for me...... High grade examples will be out there for hundreds of years thanks to the marketing geniuses involved...... it's fine actually that not just "the select few" will be able to get them...... this brings many millions more people to the "coin collecting" world.....and THAT's a wonderful thing........but minting them in the Billions and with everyone carting around Proof and Uncirculated sets ( repackaged in SO many different forms).......dunno......there's just a DE-valueing of them in that respect for me........There is no "luster" in them for me anymore......  ...... They should have only had a "Low Limited Mintage Number".....a VERY[/u] low mintage number available for Proof and Uncirc sets........ THEN they would have SOLD OUT SUPER FAST !.... ....now THEN you'd have had something..  ....but not now...  ...nope.......they're just barely this side of worthless to me.... I maintain a couple of Presidential albums......have given away a couple up to date ones to family......and up until this point have still been purchasing Proof & Uncirc sets....but I'm just not "excited" by them anymore......DANG the U.S. Mint!...

They will be a horrible investment, just like the great 76 quarters

I suppose there is a bright side...
They are an easy circulated set for a child to learn the hobby with.
I did that with pennies though, and it cost much less.
On a related note:
I noticed last night that not only is the metal content in a quarter worth the same as a Prez$, but the metal content in a nickel is also $0.07!
Now there is something to hoard along with copper cents.
You have .02 profit for every one you hold.
Start your children/grandchildren with NICKELS!
Teach them the hobby AND growth potential.

Too funny! Have you ever bought a roll of SBA, Sac, and Prez... Then mix them all up and spend them side by side? Imagine getting a mix of the three in a transaction... Mix in a Kennedy if ya hafta.  |

In my opinion the coins are not beautiful but I think it is a great way to get the new generations interested in coins. My kids love them and are collecting prez dollars Sacs and of course the quaters. I think the new programs the mint is running can be a little cheezy but hey whatever keeps the people checking their pocket is good for the hobby.
