Dear Sir Scottishmoney and Sir Twoshadows:
Kennedy coin has brought me into this hobby of wonderful people.
Kennedy Half is the most popular coin collected all around the world.
Next to the Kennedy Half,
State Quarters and Presidential Dollars are eagerly collected ones, AROUND THE WORLD. (Ms.Dona Pope's directorship, U.S.Coins were over priced. In Secondary Market the same coins were available for 40% or more DISCOUNT OF MINT'S ISSUE PRICE. If I remember correct, one can buy the Prestige Proof Set, even now, below the mint's issue price)) They are not costly. Any one can assemble a set of P.D., Mints, like me.
My good friend Marek has told me that
THEY ARE HISTORY BOOKS OF U.S.
Regarding more and more beautiful coins, there is Committee on New Coins which advice U.S.Mint on new issue of coins.
If all our friends tell them, we need more beatiful coins, eventually, we can see them. Even sample designs etc., may also be sent to them.
Again, I love the Ste. Qrs. and Prez. Dollar...ofcourse, I can't afford to other high quality coins.
George
