I don't know if anyone has seen or heard about this, for a coordinated release of coins, to generate interest in the hobby.

Thanks for the link Cliff!! That is such a cool idea!!

Agree - great idea! Also good way for all of us to easily "give back" by cleaning out our "piles" of "stuff" you really do not need.

Even though I am not a dealer participating in this particular promotion, I am thinking about letting loose of a few hundred errors and varieties during that time frame. Since I will be traveling, they can be scattered between north Florida and Atlanta Ga. Hopefully, people report what they find.

Lots of promotion scheduled by the sounds of it. Some dealers are saying they may give them away as tips with a word of value.

That is really cool. Thanks for the link.

Yw, I just happened to see it on another site and thought there would be some interest here.
I've actually considered doing the same thing locally before I saw this posted.

That's awesome!
Hopefully, they will be releasing "older" common coins as well. By this I mean some silvers like low grade Barber dimes, mercs, standing liberty quarters, and Indian cents and nickels. The public will have an easier time than looking for "varieties" as design difference certainly stand out more.

That is awesome, thanks for the info
