It will include an uncirculated 5-Star Generals Commemorative silver dollar, an uncirculated Eisenhower half-dollar, and a MacArthur bronze medal. The packaging and pricing are being finalized and will be announced soon." Ok, am I reading that quote from the mints press release correctly? There appears to be an Eisenhower only half in the mix as well? Report this Post to the Staff
commems CCF Master Historian of USA Commemoratives United States 12281 Posts	Posted 03/22/2013 11:11 am It does appear to reference a coin that had not previously been announced. The authorizing legislation does not limit the Mint to just one half-dollar design, but all designs need to go before the Citizens Coinage Advisory Committee - maybe the CCAC already approved a second Eisenhower design? I'll definitely be keeping an eye on this one! Collecting history one coin or medal at a time! (c) commems. All rights reserved. Report this Post to the Staff
jbuck Moderator United States 188727 Posts	Posted 03/22/2013 11:35 am As will I! This I will definitely need to have. However, I feel it is an error. It is probably an uncirculated version of the three-coin set, with a bronze medal in place of the gold coin. Even if this is the case, I would still bite; a poor man's version of the three-coin set is more my speed.

Doug58s Pillar of the Community United States 899 Posts	Posted 03/22/2013 11:53 am Yeah - I am leaning toward a misstatement myself. But the explicit language of an Eisenhower half - when Eisenhower isn't on the half... or even alone on the dollar... I agree jbuck this is my poor mans 3 coin set as well. :) Report this Post to the Staff
Craig T New Member United States 32 Posts	Posted 03/23/2013 11:46 am I finally broke down and did it, I got the 3 piece proof set. For me it was the low mintage that tipped the scales for me, well that and all of my uncles serving in the pacific theater during World War 2. I really think that the set has the potential to go up in value ( not that I would sell it ) I can't wait to get it. Hopefully the mint will do a Patton coin at some point in the future.

denco7 Pillar of the Community United States 2543 Posts	Posted 03/23/2013 12:24 pm Coin Update this morning had the " poor man's " set as the uncirculated dollar, the uncirculatd half and the Bronze MacArthur medal. Someone misspoke somewhere. Report this Post to the Staff
Bizybackson Pillar of the Community United States 1817 Posts	Posted 03/24/2013 1:07 pm Sprung for the unc $5.00 gold eagle, since the MOH commemorative in '11, been buying the unc gold instead of the proof gold. The satin finish of the gold coins reminds me of the roman gold proofs of 1907-1916. I'll probably get the 3-coin proof set later if there isn't going to be a special Buffalo anniversary set with fractionals or 2 1oz. Proof/RP. Expensive year! Report this Post to the Staff
