Have they set the release dates for this year yet? I agree that a seated design would be great (seated liberty or maybe even Trade dollar) Maybe a Franklin design would be interesting... |

I need to pick up the Feast dollar and the Starving liberty still
(I am just doing the copper proofs not the silver, I thought they were fun but I didn't want to siphon too much money away from my regular coin collecting endeavors so I stayed with the copper proofs for this set to keep the expense down)

Can the whole collection of silver rounds be purchased from Provident?

How about the Susan B. Agony Dollar?

How about the Susan B. Agony Dollar? I love it! Unfortunately, I don't think Provident will put an actual person on a Zombuck round, mostly out of respect, but also out of fear of legal problems. As much as I'd LOVE to see an "Un-Dead" Kennedy or something like that! I'd actually really like to see an Indian Head cent done. I have a feeling they'll do the St. Gaudens Double Eagle Standing Liberty as the final 'Capstone' round. |

@carloscoria...it looks like the silver and copper rounds will be available to meet demand for their individual 3 month window then they stop making them. However, the silver and copper proofs will be sold until sold out (they have a specified mintage number). Plus at the end of the series they are doing a special limited complete set to wrap everything up which will have 5 ounce versions of all 10 designs (I think it is limited to 1000 or something like that).

@spaceace: do you have a source for the planned 5 oz. Rounds. I haven't heard that.

It seems like they release the new rounds first and then shortly after that new design comes out they release the proof versions. Any idea on how long it takes to get the proof versions released once they start a new design? For instance when will design #8 be released and then when will design #8 proofs be released? I would think the regular and the proofs would be released at the same time, but they don't seem to be so far. (The current design for #7 was released January 1st and ends April 1st but the proof is still "coming soon".)

Hi Spaceace: Thanks for the link! Here is what it says, in case anyone else is interested. Quote:
When the final design is released in 2015, our product development team plans to produce 1,000 silver and 1,000 copper limited mintage proof sets including box and papers to commemorate the series. These sets will consist of ten 5 oz proof versions of each of the Zombucks designs, a total weight of 50 oz per set. Each commemorative set will include one 5 oz proof Walker, one 5 oz proof Morgue-Anne, and so on. Holy cow, that is going to be EXPENSIVE! I'm guessing AT LEAST $1200 for the Silver and $200 for the Copper. I better start saving my pennies! |
