For the future of the hobby,

PLEASE do away with this "price inflating" label. How can you justify any significance to the collecting hobby with this label? Why are coins that are made for 10 weeks out of the year (ATB quarters) even considered for this? Is it not illegal to deny a coin in a mint sealed shipment with documentation to prove the release date from qualifying? I for 1 am waiting for the day when someone with a little cash files a lawsuit to end this money making practice. You are doing a disservice to the hobby that you want to be the leader of! I understand the fact that it is a "money maker" for you, but in the long run it takes away from the standards you should be setting. Why not just stick to grading the coins for their condition or varieties, not the date the mint shipped them out. I can see in the future a label saying "Released from the MINT 01/01/12". When that happens I'll start collecting cash instead of coins...have a great day, enjoy your coin collecting adventures
