howell1018 Pillar of the Community United States 717 Posts	Posted 04/08/2026 7:18 pm I'm probably late to the party, or simply looking in the wrong place, as I would think this has already been discussed. The Mint is scheduled to release gold reissues of the 1916 Mercury dime, Standing Liberty quarter, and Walking Liberty half. In addition gold examples of the 1804 dollar in gold as well as the 1907 St. Gaudens double eagle as well. From what I can tell by the current listing on the Mint webpage all five of these issues are to be issued in sets along with an accompanying silver medal. I collect coins. I'm not interested in a medal. Seems like it might be a way to squeeze a bit more from collectors and get them to pay for an unwanted medal (certainly in my case at least). As disappointing this might be to myself, I imagine folks who would like to have the silver medal will be priced out. I guess for myself, once I have the sets in hand it will be easy to sell the medals in the aftermarket to people who don't want to have to pay for the gold resulting in a slightly lower price for the gold coins at the end of the day. If my facts/assumptions are wrong, mea culpa, or as Emily Litela/Gilda Radner used to say....."never mind. Report this Post to the Staff

Gilly Pillar of the Community United States 1217 Posts	Posted 04/08/2026 7:54 pm Yes, I'd think you'd be able to sell the medal for a pretty good amount and offset the purchase price. I hear many people did this with the 1995W, people who didn't want the ASE, just the gold. Report this Post to the Staff

Offer them here first. I bet you will have some takers. If the price is right, I may be one.

Ballyhoo Pillar of the Community United States 1613 Posts	Posted 04/11/2026 12:02 pm When these were first proposed I had intended on buying them. Gold at the time was still within an affordable range which I could have saved for. Not so now without a loan. Anyhow, I did manage to get all three 2016 designs which are identical save for the dual date and 250 privy. In truth I'm not all that upset for not adding them. As for availability as a set, the mint has always charged more than the coin/medal individually. Where's the juastification on that? As you've said, squeeze the collector at every turn.
