I truely feel, as well as other historians that the Gettysburg address is indeed a founding document of our country. Even though it was an oration it was still written first as a document...and it fits rather snuggly with Lincoln on the cent

If others love the ATBs, I'm personally good with that, but one reason I don't like them is that we're given too much to collect these days. As much as I like seeing new coins, the Mint is overdoing it. We're already oversaturated with commemoratives. It's like college football bowl games. I can't bring myself to watch a college bowl game anymore as that they're way too many of them.

I mean, are we in for a Top Ramen Bowl? A L'eggs Pantyhose Bowl?

How about a commemorative coin celebrating the invention of Top Ramen?

I'm sorry, but I think the Mint suffers from the "we don't know when to quit" syndrome.

I liked the Bicentennials and think the quarter was the best of the lot. I think the Statehood Quarters was a good run but the ATB's were a bust. We are kind of stuck with them until they finish.

I would like to see the next series of special issue coins to be faithful reproduction of older coins. This would be for all series. Run for a year or 2 of each coin type, depending on how many types are chosen to reproduce.

As for the Gettysburg Address on the Cent for the fantasy National Treasures series, I think it is not a bad idea for that coin I wonder if the Emancipation Proclamation might be more appropriate. It would go well with the Declaration of Independence, Constitution, Bill of Rights etc.

I thought about the emancipation proclamation as well, but that is a slightly more "heated" document
