Cool! This makes my decision to get a silver proof set easier. Not 100% but easier.

I hope they put the nickels in capsules instead of those stupid baggies. If they are in baggies I am not buying any after the quality problems with the pennies in 2019.

I'm losing interest in modern coins it's become too hard to complete full collections. I mean W quarters , cents and now nickels. I'm staying with older coins, 3 mints at most per year.

The way I read the following part of the Coin World article is that they will again be in a bag but the fulfillment center has had a stern warning about quality control: "According to U.S. Mint officials, steps are being taken with its order fulfillment contractor in Memphis, Tennessee, PFS Web, to ensure that bonus coins are packaged properly to guard against damage in transit." Notice it says packaged properly |

While I enjoy and love the idea of " stirring up " the coin collector's interests, as per Our new U S Mint's Director, David.J Ryder's intent's, including drawing newer collectors too. Having an 50 Year Anniversary of the 1969 Apollo Moon mission, With the "endless " products,Gold, Silver too. Making a New Lowest minted, SAN FRAN- ASE, Issuing Lincoln "W " Minted Cents, A Reverse Proof, and Proof and An Uncirculated version NEVER done before and made those Baggie packaged Cents at the bottom of the cardboard box the sets came in, Special, Bonus Cents, Very pricey and 70's near impossible to locate....... Issuing "W " Quarters into the wild, Having the first multi-Nations set, with Another low mintage for the coin's ERP-ASE. The American Legion's Silver Coin/Medal set,also the 3 AM Legion, coin set with the $5.00 Gold Coin, Which I also believe The A/L Gold $5.00 UNC is Another Lowest Minted coin for 2019 . The release of the first Silver American Presidental Medal Sets, 5 per year, Bringing products like the U S Mint's children " Rocketship Set", Glows in the dark which ALSO has a limited edition, special finished Kennedy half dollar minted too... and Many other Children coin collecting topics, have and are working to bring another generation of enthusiastic wanna-be coin collecting wardens. I think those are great ideas. The schedule for the last year was Criminal, I wanted sooo much and they had more and more. It seems this past year was an overload, with, what seemed like a never-ending product line.... Doing these ideas, I wish they were around when I started in the early 60's. To see younger collectors getting involved and passionate, like us all, You know the Coin Collecting Adventures will continue on. Never hearing Our Father's jingling pocket change of mostly Silver Coinages, The Unique sound of Silver Too...................................... Edited by Morgans Dad

The biggest challenge (and I use the term loosely) for me is going to be deciding how to store/display these one-off coins since none of the album manufacturers have labeled slots for them in their pages yet that I am aware of.

Get a blank page. Last thing you wanna do if have to be switching all the coins to a new album every couple years when something there isn't a labeled slot for happens

I guess I am getting the mint set again this year.  Quote:
Already done in 1996. Perhaps the half dollar? But that was just one dime. This time you will have three.  Quote:

Get a blank page. Right, the blank page route is definitely a good option. It just irks me to not have labels and I've not found a good way to label the pages myself yet. I tried transfers and that was a disaster. I may try to find printable acetate sheets and include them in the binder between pages to overlay dates/labels. Edited by CelticKnot

Just leave them blank and you will get used to them. Well, at least I did. |
