Not to be a journal hog, but I had to write this....

Greetings again...

Yesterday afternoon I received in the mail a special brochure regarding the new St Gaudens gold coin.

It looks like nothing I have ever seen so far as the dimensions go on a coin, and I applaud the Mint for trying to do something different.

The coin is thick enough to have "E Pluribus Unum" on it's edge, and I am sure the technology and the artistry in making a coin of this type is impressive.

But, to me, it does not really seem like a coin. To me I see it as more of a medal, and in my opinion maybe it should be marketed more as a medal.

I usually won't post a strong opinion as such here, but I cannot help but be a little taken aback by the coin itself.

Not like I can afford it anyway!!

Have a great weekend everyone!!
