Given Congress' current wonky-woke timidity about, well, just about everything... Lady Liberty's resurrection, in whatever omni-ethno-sexual-homogenized incarnation, doesn't stand a chance. Someone, somewhere, for some unintelligible, self-righteous, shut-in reason will successfully protest. That is, of course, the Mint is contemplating showing her poised to make a three-pointer from a wheelchair to a basket on the Mars. As for the next quarter series - now, work with me here - iconic state manhole covers...

Hello, it was like not sure but 6-7 months ago.. the same request.. but the bill in congress was H.R.-3757 and a couple weeks ago it had I think 67 co-sponsors. Now this new coin act bill H.R.-6192 has 16 co-sponsors.. so in our Congress if a bill doesn't get the needed co-sponsors in a certain amount of time it gets trashed? I called I think 3 of representatives from my state Minnesota.. way back this winter but none of them had co-sponsored as of two weeks ago when the bill was still H.R.-3757....I think the bill needs 237 co-sponsors to move on in the process.. ok..over and out.. stay healthy..
Me too! Like yelling down a well.

How about instead of them rehashing old designs while at the same time making them look bland and lifeless, we petition the Congress to eliminate the useless cent and the half dollar. And to stop the Mint from producing horrifically PC garbage like the Basketball Hall of Fame coin. And to stop way overcharging for their bullion coins. And to stop producing a zillion varieties of quarters. And to stop producing all the different $1 coins until the BEP stops printing paper dollars. And to update our current designs with something other than polarizing presidents on the obverse.

Cannot thank you enough for your quick response and clarification of the phrase "album toning." Now I'm wondering whether coinage might react to bank roll paper as well. Thanks again!

I have occasionally encountered a vendor who describes an offering as "album toned" or possessing "album toning." I am well (and painfully) aware of PVC contamination from vintage album slides. Is "album toning" a euphemism for this or is it something different? If it is something different: 1) Does it have a negative, positive, or neutral effect on a coin's value; and, 2) If it has a negative effect, is this reversible through coin conservation?

I tip my hat to your untrendy candor. Take equal parts of Crass Competitiveness, Accidental Affluence, and a dash of Philistine Dilettantism (shaken, not stirred) - now add an Ego/Investment olive and one has the perfect Vulgarity cocktail. I simply cannot see the intellectual/romantic value-added by set registries.
