The news media tonight, 03-07-07 Wednesday nite, claimed that the U.S. Mint, found an error amoungst 300,000,000 new Washington Dollar coins.  The U.S.Mint claimed that maybe over half of the coins, fave errors, on them.  The craze will be over, when people realize, that the local banks, and collectors and graders have the coins.  Already on e-bay, at the 10pm hour, there was a report that the coins were already selling at over $100.00 each.  At Yahoo, at their on line auction house, there coins were selling for over $300.00 each, and the prices keep going up.

The U.S.Mint was amazed, because the stamping was to deep on some coins, not deep enough on other coins, and some coins were misaligned, when the stamping occured.  The U.S.Mint, is not infallable; and yet, when the craze dies down, people will become aware, that there are more than enough coins, to make everyone happy.  This was a declaration by the U.S. Mint.

Myself, personally. I don't really care.  I am just collecting a few coins, again.After a long absence from it.  Just for when money gets tight.  I will have the right coins, to sell, for anyone who collects the pcgs slabbed coins.  But mostly, I collect the odd ones.  The coins, no one really cares about anymore.  The pre-statehood coins.

It's nice to see that our FEderal money is going to recognise all of our past Presidents with a memorial coins, that will be in circulation for everyone, so there wont be a made craze over it.  But, that too was short lived, by a striking error of over 150,000,000 coins.
