Look out Canada. Here we come!  I had often said that we needed to me more like Canada... but I meant getting rid of the cents... and circulating one and two dollar coins instead of notes... not those other things!   |

I solved the issue of commemoratives a long time ago, I never collected them.

I believe that serious Collectors coinage is being commercialized. The oddity factors , along with the slab company's just waiting to release Yet Another label, to those willing to go that route. For quite some time the Mint's schedule is trying to reach out, LIKE NOT BEFORE, in my opinion, to Younger,very impressionable kids. That's all good for the Mint,and the coin collecting community. The new blood introduced into Coin Collecting is a Welcomed chance to educate and promote, The Coins of Days Gone Bye.........Maybe not for All others involved. Meaning maybe the Mint should take that long OVERDUE systems update to their ordering platform and concentrate on Quality Control. THIS years coinage IMO, is Historic for many reasons, the 100th Anniversary of the First Newly designed Peace dollar 1921, Thank You, Anthony de Francisco, and lest We forget George T. MORGAN, Who designed the Morgan silver dollar 1921 - marking the LAST year, (till now), of the last minted silver dollar too. The American Silver/Gold Eagles Design was Re-Designed after 35 years,1986-2021 Designed by Adolph A.Weinman, Thank You ALL.!!!!  Collect With A Passion, What You Choose.....  |

These go on sale tomorrow and there does not seem to be any excitement around them. I have not decided on to get or not to get. I know if I do decide to order I will not try if the order does not go through on the first try.

I am in a good place after looking at the 2022 Mint offerings. Nothing on my buy list until Fall...  "Nummi rari mira sunt, si sumptus ferre potes." - Christophorus filius Scotiae

I'm planning to buy the coin & medal set tomorrow.
Undecided on the one with the privy mark.

Against popular opinion, apparently, I am a fan of these and plan to buy. But I haven't yet decided which one - proof, proof with medal, or proof with privy. The limited mintage is attractive, and the medal looks pretty sharp, but the price is not great.

For me the denomination value is more than "symbolic." Neither would I call legal tender a "toothless argument." Any court would rule them legal tender, by law. Maybe a baby teeth argument though. If they weren't legal tender they would just be generic bullion, the legal tender part adds collector value IMO. But I'm more a silver/gold stacker than coin collector anyway, to each their own.

With the limited mintage on the medal set and the privy proof (15,000 and 20,000, I think), does anyone think these will be difficult to get tomorrow?

What on earth is a "privy" mark doing on this commemorative and what does it stand for? If that helps any, think of it as the modern equivalent of the Missouri 2*4 and Alabama 2x2 halves. |

Less that two hours to go.  Just so we do not have this thread getting too far off topic, please comment on today's release in this topic... http://goccf.com/t/402976 |
