Just a thought, but couldn't the mint get authorization to mint two silver dollars that aren't "commemoratives" but real silver dollars. Doubtful the difference is significant enough to encourage legislation. |

It is now also a different legislation, H.R. 6192. And yes, they would be produced as legal tender, not as commemorative coins. Write your congressman and ask him to support it.  |

Aren't all commemorative coinage legal tender? Yes - Non-Circulating Legal Tender. I sincerely hope that neither of the bills for these coins passes. They are just another example of the Mint trying to circumvent the commemorative coinage laws already on the books. They are the start of a very slippery slope that will result in abuses to the system! Collecting history one coin or medal at a time! (c) commems. All rights reserved.

I cannot imagine this program, or any variation thereof ever reaching the light of reality. Given all the other issues we face, this has to be at the very bottom of things needing to be done. On top of that, given how Washington continues to dysfunction, it is unlikely anything of value will be done.

I'm also not a fan of restrikes, which I know these technically wouldn't be, but that's still how I would personally see them. All that being said, I'd probably purchase at least one of these coins if they come to fruition... |

Wow - I find myself in the unusual position of disagreeing with Commems on something!
Not being a regular buyer of U.S. Mint products, I would be very happy if this legislation were to pass. I hope that the Mint never goes loco with 3-D / colorized / commemorate dozens of things every year stuff, but I would really enjoy getting these items if they ever go up for sale.

I like the idea because I liked the 1916-2016 gold coins, but did not really have a budget for them. These I could get as long as they are silver.

I like the idea of bypassing commemorative legislation for coins "commemorating" other coins as well, not unlike the leeway the Mint has for generic bullion designs. Bypassing commemorative laws for actual specific people or events (like, say, the Mayflower) still feels wrong though.

When I look at the modern commemeratives minted since 1983 I don't really like any of them to me most are funky looking with to much crammed in the fields. How does the mint run with such goofy artistic interpretations? Yuk these has been some sunshine mint looking commemeratives flowing out neverending. Look at the ASE they even managed putting a cookie cutter design eagle on reverse (its got to go). Lets be realistic here the Peace dollar Morgan dollar 2021 thing has slim chance to be minted. No political will to do so and the mint is too busy minting ugly commemeratives for 15 different celebratory celebrations of magnificent comic book coins. Can't wait for the colored Spiderman coins with darthvader above in God we trust. Congress not interested Senate not interest None of the major players on both sides of House seem remotely inclined Take this to the bank "the Peace/Morgan 2021 is dead" I guarantee. Sure I would buy them lots of them, yes I support them. But...country is frying bigger fish right now. |
