Hey ! I'm on the same page as everyone else but would still prefer to have the brass rim on the plated coins. As to putting them in red caps, some casinos and the public have been doing that for a couple of years now. Bottom line, what's in it is still worth ten bucks with or without the color of the rim. It would be interesting to find out what the cost of the brass rim is verse the extra HSP on that area. Silver still is more expensive than brass. Jeff
