Seduced by the Mint

Or how, despite my negative feelings toward the Mint, I still had to purchase a proof set.

 

When I looked in my Yahoo mailbox this morning, I found a short email from the U.S. Mint advertising the availability of the 2011 Clad National Parks Quarter set for 14.95. Even though I vowed not to purchase anything directly from the Mint and even though I know I'll be able to pick up the set at a lower price leter. I still logged onto their site, opened my account and bought the Proof Set.

 

I think I did it because I still have a part of me that wants to support the mints outreach to collectors and I also think I just want to add to my set of quarters only proof sets without waiting.

 

Oh well, I will say that I am generally more pleased with this set of designs than the State designs. Probably because it seems there will only be one landmark on each coin not multiple cluttered elements like the California quarter. I also like the template they are using for the reverse to frame each design.

 

should be coming soon.
