This is what I am waiting for to become available... https://www.wizardcoinsupply.com/da...et-2018-2032I will get two of them. One for proof, the other for reverse proof. I am not collecting the business strikes because the mint mark on the edge makes no sense in an album.  |

Yeah, that is the one I'm currently using for the P and D coins - and I HATE IT.. and it leaves my proofs homeless....   Quote:

I will get two of them. One for proof, the other for reverse proof. I'm hoping that the 8188 and 8189 will have spaces for both proofs (Regular and Reverse), just like that did for the dimes, quarters, and Halves (2 proofs for each year - but is the case for the lower denominations it was Proof and Silver Proof.)

I agree. It makes sense to include the reverse proof as they were issued in lieu of a silver proof.  It would be really nice if they made an album for just the proof and reverse proof, basically the P&D album with different labeling.  |

Curious... these coins are not "circulating coinage"? I though they were, if only because they can be accepted in vending machines, etc. Are they treated the same as the Kennedy half dollars? |

They are Non-Circulating Legal Tender. Minted to be sold only to collectors, but you can still spend them if you want. So yes, pretty much like half dollars were from 2002 until recently (when the Fed started ordering them from the Mint).

jbuck - OH! OK, I wasn't aware of that! I DID notice last night when browsing in my price guide that some of the Presidential dollars state NOT FOR CIRCULATION on the listings. Now I know! |

 I just remembered there are 3 other coins for 2023! The landing craft is interesting, and that HAS to be the first coin ever to feature a set of LUNGS!!! |

They are Higgins boats - New Orleans was home to Higgins Industries, a small boat company owned by entrepreneur Andrew J. Higgins.
And yes, you found a great link to its history.

NOLA is also home of the National WWII Museum. If you ever find yourself in NOLA be sure to add a day or two to visit the museum. You will not be disappointed! Quote:

Yes Nells250 see here I posted the background. From 2012 onwards, the coins were only struck in the minimum quantities necessary to meet demand from collectors and no longer for circulation. http://goccf.com/t/437347Edited by datadragon
