The Citizens Coinage Advisory Committee (CCAC) will hold a three-hour public meeting via videoconference on Tuesday, Sept. 24, to review and discuss candidate designs for the 2025 coins and medals featuring DC Super Heroes, as well as two Congressional Gold Medals honoring Emmett Till and Mamie Till-Mobley, and the Lower Brule Sioux Tribe Code Talkers.
The CCAC is tasked with advising the Secretary of the Treasury on themes and designs pertaining to all United States coins and medals.
Specifically, agenda topics for the CCAC meetings include reviewing and discussing candidate designs for the following:
- The 2025 Comic Art Super Heroes coins and medals
- The Emmett Till and Mamie Till-Mobley Congressional Gold Medal
- The Lower Brule Sioux Tribe Code Talkers Congressional Medals
The Comic Art Super Heroes coins and medals program showcases a U.S. Mint licensing partnership with DC Comics. This series will feature nine iconic super heroes on 24-karat gold coins, .999 fine silver medals, and non-precious metal clad medals. Launching in 2025 with Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman, the collection will continue in 2026 and 2027 with six additional superheroes.
The Emmett Till and Mamie Till-Mobley medal, authorized by Public Law 117-334, honors Emmett Till, who was brutally murdered at 14 in 1955 after being accused of offending a white woman in her family’s grocery store. The medal also recognizes his mother, Mamie Till-Mobley, for her courage and relentless pursuit of justice in a case that became a catalyst for the civil rights movement.
The Lower Brule Sioux Tribe Code Talkers medal is one of more than 30 medals authorized by Public Law 110-120, which was enacted to honor Native American Code Talkers who used their indigenous languages to transmit secret military communications during both World Wars.

The Emmett Till and Mamie Till-Mobley Congressional Gold Medal…imperative.
The Lower Brule Sioux Tribe Code Talkers medal…greatly deserved.
The Comic Art Super Heroes coins and medals….totally inane.
Is this series supposed to make the USM more “relevant” to younger collectors? I don’t see that happening!
Sam-I-am, I’d say the average age of the comic book enthusiast is approaching 40-something if not older. This is geared towards them, not kids. Kids don’t have any money. And whatever money they do get is spent on video gaming.
Major D,
I think what you are suggesting here is that the Mint is in effect reaching across the aisle to other types of grown hobbyists with this new angle rather than trying to make an effort to draw a younger crowd into the ranks.
On further reflection in this particular regard, I might add that I’m not so sure that comic book and/or superhero enthusiasts even of an older age bracket than what used to be the usual suspect youngsters might not be that interested in transferring their focus and/or their finances over into the numismatic world. Also, there is another gap brought about by the reality that these grownup versions of what used to be the original MTV generation may not ever have become accustomed to the degree of patience required to engage in a hobby that rather contrary to their own emphasizes… Read more »
Sam-I-am,
If this is the kind of pointless nonsense that figures into a calculation for better attracting new blood into the numismatic fold then the hobby takes the risk of becoming just as disconnected from coherent thinking as are the young bobbleheads who spend their days and nights glued to the utter nonsense on the likes of TikTok.
Kaiser same as that MLB and NBA coins would bring more into the numismatic fold…how did THAT go? Annual silver classic, start with a 1804 $1 reissue for the 220th Ann. Nah let’s make a Supergirl Quarter
John Q. Coinage, Precisely my point, although the one clearly superior facet the MLB and NBA coins had going for them was that they at least were dealing with real people. In a world such as ours that is so full of wonders already, it is etremely difficult for me to understand what the big fixation on the ludicrously fictional universe of so-called “super heroes” might be all about. Perhaps it’s just a case of widespread mental laziness in that this assignment of one’s focus to imaginary beings and their alternate reality requires so very little if in fact any… Read more »
Superheroes yeah Comic Book geeks buy coins. Perhaps if they w as Marvel more legs we’ll see, me I’d rather buy anything, even a Hot Wheels Ltd. Over a $100 Green Lantern dollar
I’m certainly with you there, John Q. Coinage. I once collected Hot Wheels myself; they at least were miniature representations of actual objects.
I just noticed that the flowing hair silver medal now has a privy mark “230” on the obverse. It is shown as close up and on one of the regular obverse pictures. It is missing on the other pictures. No mint mark either.
That’s interesting- thanks for the update. It’s only shown on the last two pictures. And no description yet, but I’m sure it will show up there as well as with the gold coin once it gets published. I do wish there was a mint mark though.
Another reason it’s not a restrike, a digital recreation, sanitized for your protection
Aren’t they all? Just asking
A(real)restrike, and this is off the top of my amateur head, is a coin re-struck with the original die from the 1800’s, etc, but struck at a later date than what’s on the coin…
The experts here will correct me if I’m too far off here….
Rick, If any “expert” tries to correct your definition of a restrike they will not be living up to their claim to be one as you are absolutely right about what a restrike is. I’ve just done some research on this subject to be sure I know what I’m talking about in response to your comment and sure enough your original statement that “A (real) restrike, and this is off the top of my amateur head, is a coin re-struck with the original die from the 1800’s, etc, but struck at a later date than what’s on the coin…” is… Read more »
No im a Luddite would like it engraved by man not digital recreation. Just too darn “perfect”
Major D and East Coast Guru,
Well, how aboit that, a little sweetener has been added to the Mint’s medal pie! The question is did the Mint do this out of the goodness of its little silver heart with the objective of enhancing the look of the Medal or did they simply decide to throw a bone to those unable to afford or reluctant to purchase the gold coin.
“aboit”? How about I use “about” instead next time, eh?
John Q said, “Rick, the Porgans are sterilization of design in metal. Flowing Hair will too, why carry the highest % premium ever, think about it, Ventris squeezing every last cent out of us. I can afford it, even the Pd. But why….. I still buy pre 33, and any decent priced CC slabbed Au, for $4k I can get a 62 or so 1892 cc, Flowing hair replica gotta think” I know JQ. digitized, sterile, and $3500 bucks for a ounce of Gold that won’t be rare or different than the rest. And I’ll probably give in too? If… Read more »
Rick,
Bright and shiny things of the most awesome sort. What’s not to like!
Agreed Kaiser,
More bright and shiny things below(moderns this time)for your viewing pleasure!..
You sir, just may have some of these coins, being an ASE collectable guy?..
The backstory on these? I dug these Mint sealed sets deep from the Rick ‘catacombs’ a few weeks ago(after 11+ years@$139.95 ea set!)and sent them in for an ‘awakening’. Four sets I sent in, but six I purchased, picking the best examples I could find. Unfortunately, the set on the right was put in the corner for misbehaving!
PS: Jeff Legan, I hope your many ASE coins have a new home soon?
Nice haul Rick. Always a fan of the Reverse Proofs.
Thanks E1,
They were bought as a flip, then forgotten…
I’ll keep one set of each, and let go of the rest.
The stocking stuffer approach is a good approach as well!
Rick,
You, Sir, are indeed a dangerous influence. I had made what I thought of as an unyieldingly firm decision to no longer buy ASEs of any kind from the US Mint, but after perusing those photos of yours displayed above my resolve is already beginning to weaken. Darn!
Rick,
Many thanks as always for these endlessly delightful displays of shining numismatic brilliance, both on your part and that of your coins! Outstanding!
Kill-em with kindness!..
Thanks Kaiser.
You’re most welcome, Rick. Maybe the “kill-em” refers to the old song line “you’ve got to be cruel to be kind in the first measure”.
Rick, You stated in your comment above “You sir, just may have some of these coins, being an ASE collectable guy?..” and you are spot on in that regard. Second only to Proof Sets of various types the single most numerous of my coin collectables are the American Silver Eagles; I absolutely love their look! The fact that the ASE has the same obverse as the Walking Libery Half Dollar, which as you know is my all-time favorite coin of any sort, seals the deal for me. Now if only I had been possessed of the sort of uncanny prescience… Read more »
Hindsight is 20/20 isn’t it?
Like our first house after marriage, not far from where we are now. A small, modest 2 brm ranch w/ basement. We bought it for $85k in ’93, sold it for $200k in 2001(and we could’ve afforded to keep it & rent it, even w/2nd house)…And today it’s worth $550k. Hindsight is 20/20 my friend….
Rick, How well do I know that. There are so many things I did that with what I know now I would never have done. On the other hand, there are likely just as many that I neglected to do that in retrospect I probably ought to have acted upon. One never knows, do one? By the way, a particular sum just occurred to me which happened to be jiggled loose in my memory by the current price of your first house. Interestingly enough, the amount of $550,000 is coincidentally what I was on the hook for in court-ordered child… Read more »
Rick,
Have you ever tried these guys?
https://www.invaluable.com/catalog/cabo9zwcnr?page=1&size=48
Alot of 1879-S DMPLs.
E1, no I haven’t but I signed up for their emails and I’ll be checking them out. It’s nice to find another outlet for purchasing coins. Appreciate you sharing their website!
AKBob, you’re welcome. I’ve been checking them out too.
No, new to me, they’re on my bookmark list now!
It looks like they’ve got a lot going on, and not just coins…
Thanks!
Rick,
“It looks like they’ve got a lot going on, and not just coins…”
Another understatement in the “Rick Files”. That’s alright, we’ll find out for ourselves!
E 1,
Egad. Is there anything in the world of collectables these folks don’t sell?
Rick, I’m with you, I’m not sure how much more I’ll be willing to pay for US Mint products! I’m starting to really feel like us common collectors are nothing more than “cash cows”!!! I’m going to be purchasing at least one Au FH, a graded PR70 at that. I’d like to purchase more but that premium is getting to be too much. I’m going to choke a bit but I think in the long haul, it’ll be a good investment AND I’ll get to admire it and it become part of my collection. I purchased a couple of Pre… Read more »
I picked up a $1 gold type 2 in Long Beach Thursday. Not much selection there for type 2’s. Highest grade I found was MS-62. Still a beautiful coin to go with my type 1 & 3. I agree with the above, mint looks at us as a cash cow paying outrageous premiums for FS bullion. Probably better plays out there for that type of money.
That’s what I like to hear Guru, some classic coin collectors chiming in!
I think I heard HarryB, or was it SteveW talk about his $1 Gold?
Vintage coin talk is good talk!
I really like these little gems, just never pulled the trigger.
Great coins used for commerce back in the day!
Type 2 1855 G$1 MS66 = $50k……
Rick,
Can you imagine these being passed from one hand to another? In all fairness though, in the days when Walking Liberty Half Dollars were commonly seen in change I felt pretty much the same way.
By the way, Rick, that’s yet another one of those gorgeous gold gem classics that gets your numismatic heart pumping a little bit faster!
AKBob,
Glad I could help you find another outlet for your passion for Gold & Eagles! Yes, I knew who you were referring to!
Nice Rick I have one 1883cc GSA looks true Prooflike! Time to buy what is Out of favor!
John Q. Coinage,
“Time to buy what is Out of favor!”
Great statement as such and upon further reflection some useful advice to boot.
Rick,
Just one quick question. What are “Porgans”?
The new replica 2021-24 Peace Dollars, combined with 2021-24 Morgans = 2021-24 Porgans…
A shortcut or nickname for both offerings all in one. Some might find it to be a slight dig, if you will, coming from the classic purists. But really, it’s just a quick way to combine the two when talking about the series. That’s my take anyway.
Rick,
Many thanks for the quick reply and for the solution I was in search of. For some reason I simply couldn’t put that together in my mind without some help, but just as many times before you were there with the answer pronto!
By the way, as an old original Trekkie I couldn’t help but allow myself to visualize the Porgan flotilla having just entered the Neutral Zone and immediately running into several uncloaking Romulan ships who had arrived to engage the interlopers in mortal combat! Shields up and go to Warp Eight!
I’d agree Rick, kinda like the Porgan Monniker, not sure if Ventris does. Can’t argue about the Walker, beautiful classic, have a set in Dansco (funny spell correct AI changes Dansco to Adam’s low…?) I digress….always looking for pre 33 upgrades Original AU etc., tuff stuff. Would b great to find an original BU roll…
I digress too JQC now & then, and A-Ok with it…. Good to hear that we have another Walker Dansco Album collector on board. You & E1 could have a talk… Or how about this BU roll of 1953-S Franklins up for grabs. Just one MS63 ‘FBL’ and you’ve hit the 10k jackpot… https://www.greatcollections.com/Coin/1661314/1953-S-Franklin-Silver-Half-Dollar-BU-Roll-Uncertified-20-Coins But, Here’s a quote from Jamie Hernandez on that coin…. “The 1953-S Franklin Half Dollar with Full Bell Line characteristics is the key coin to the entire circulation strike Franklin Half Dollar series. With a mintage of over 4 million coins, less than 50 examples are… Read more »
Rick,
I will have to revisit those and take a closer look. I have a number of gem 53-S coins. FBLs?
Great info.
Thanks Bro
Rick,
Just confirmed.
Yes, even in a low grade the 53-S FBL is big $$$$.
They have gone up a lot.
Thank you for sharing.
Cheers
I hope you have one E1… BAM!
That roll has been scrutinized I suspect. Rechecking my Franklin DANSCO album, all BU not bloody likely tho. The only problem w the aDanscos is when the glue fails, the coins slip between the cardboard page liners…..
Is that the only reverse proof Kennedy out there? Nice coin.
Rick,
To dip or not to dip?
Crazy good pic here.
E 1,
Does that qualify as Full Bell Lines? Or do the scuffs & scratches knock it out?
Sam,
The coin above is a PCGS MS-65 FBL. PCGS says, the MS-65FBL, must have 3 curls on the obverse and three full bell lines on the bottom of the bell on the reverse. NGC requires three curls on the obverse and all 6 bell lines must be full without any interruptions or voids on the reverse. The crack in the Liberty Bell is not considered a void by either TPG.
Here is a better shot of the same coin.
E 1,
Thanks for the education, as well as the closer photo. My eyes were deceiving me – I interpreted the bell crack as a scratch on the coin in the earlier pic.
Interesting that PCGS & NGC don’t have the same standards for FBL. I learn something new every day!
Sam-I-am and E 1,
Here I’ve long been under the impression that PCGS would ordinarily be expected to have stricter standards than NGC but it appears that cannot be assumed to be true across the board.
For a long time yes, but Kaiser it seems the big 1 has loosened up especially on 19th Century coins and modern. There’s a lot of chatter on the Bell, maybe. The holder. Going thru my Wheaties, many but also yielded fuguly carbon spots…. Hmmm.
Dip is always a hard Q, if foreign substance or such yes, for toning sometimes reveals defects, marks, never dip copper
We like pics!
Copper cents are good cents.
Sure makes cents to me.
John Q. Coinage,
It does seem a bit counterintuitive to me that PCGS would be loosening up on their grading standards when the movement in general within the professional grading community appears to be headed in the other direction, meaning to a more rigorous and exacting judgment of coin grades. Then again, with all that grade tightening currently in progress, perhaps this is PCGS’s strategy to help them with retaining some of their customers.
IMHO their going private accelerated both Labelmania & grade inflation, especially for 19th Cent, they have always been the leader but I see CAC moving up as a new player with some chops already. Time will tell…..
E 1,
That sounds downright Shakespearean. “To dip or not to dip, that is the question.”
E1, “To dip or not to dip?” That is the question my friend. And now you have my full attention! Great stuff.. It seems that your Vevor scope in the photo above has picked up some toning/residue up front compared to the photo below? Still yet, there is some minor discoloration to the left reverse? The scope may inherently put out images of a coins’ reflective lighting as appearing to be a slight caramel shade? The same slabbed coin below the Vevor looks to be problem free and beautiful. But it’s far away. There’s no Parallax Errors in those Images!… Read more »
Rick,
Roger that and thank you for your excellent response.
Dip it is!
Stay tuned.
PS: E1…
There is something down there, on your desk next to the scope.
They are in packaging of Red and Blue….
We’re going to need a full report as to just what you have there sir!….
Rick,
I ordered 6 pairs of the 2024 P&D Mint Set Kennedy Halves from several different suppliers. I am just waiting for the rest of those to arrive. I will post pics of the top 2 along with any observations\conclusions. A $42 project that hopefully yields something nice.
Peace Out
E 1,
At less than the cost of one SUV fill-up how could you possibly have gone wrong?
Looking forward to it E1…
Rick,
Bummer. No 53-S FBLs in my stash box or album. I can see why the 53-S FBL is so rare. All of the ones that I have are so poorly struck and one with almost no bell lines at all. Definitely an exceptionally tough coin to find.
Drag,
Well, think about it, only 50 FBL coins known out of 4 million that’s insane.
The very weak reverse strike seems to be the common denominator in that year. There’s probably a few out there yet, like in some old timers dusty, forgotten collection up in the attic, you never know! An estate sale picker’s dream….
Rick,
I think a 1953 Mint Set would be a good place to find one. The mission wasn’t a total loss, I found a 1970 D Proof-Like Kennedy in my stash box. I will try to get you a pic.
Later Bud
AKBob, “I’m going to be purchasing at least one Au FH, a graded PR70 at that. I’d like to purchase more but that premium is getting to be too much. I’m going to choke a bit but I think in the long haul, it’ll be a good investment AND I’ll get to admire it and it become part of my collection.” Ditto Bob, that’s my sentiments, or justification however one looks at it, we’ll see!? I thought you were referring to me about inheriting a collectable coin from my grandmother, and I’m like, did I tell you that? Anyway Sam-I-am… Read more »
PS:
My Grandmother was a fairly talented painter, an knife-style oil painter of mostly southwestern landscapes. She and my Grandfather lived in AZ(where I was born)most of their adult lives.
In addition to the coin, I was also able to get a few of her paintings after her passing. The one below, unframed, is my favorite of the few that I inherited.
The colors, and the secluded feel to it are a nice touch. Look out Bob Ross!
Who knows, maybe the CC Mint is just around the bend lol……
It makes me feel relaxed just beholding it. A beautiful work my friend!
Tony@GA,
A big ditto on all counts!
Rick,
Very nice! Kind of like a Southwestern Bob Ross. He may have influenced her. She had talent. Frame It! Keep it in the Family. The nice thing about Art, you get to see it everyday. Coins, well, they get stashed away and you can’t tell anyone about them.
E 1,
Good way to put that. I’m very fortunate my wife is given to collecting art because our home would all the poorer (not to mention barer) without it.
Thanks Tony, E1, Kaiser. It’s a keeper family treasure.
Flying to LAX, how fun! not..
But I need to work to pay for COINS !
Out
Rick,
Family treasures like that can’t even have a monetary value assigned to them. I believe they truly define the meaning of “priceless”.
LAX sucks beyond belief. Could be purgatory for Catholics…. You ramble on the runway after landing long enough to fly to San Francisco….taxi, don’t get me started
I noticed that bumpy taxi ride to hell & back, and the streets outside LAX are nice & bumpy too. Great place. Why do you suppose, that CA taxes $2 more per gallon of gas than everywhere else?
Maybe they’re giving all the money to Ohtani lol.
A very high grade for a Krugerrand.
Rick,
I’m sure you’ve heard this more times than you care to remember, but I would say that if you don’t write your memoirs in order to share those experiences and any further ancillary to them with the world you might be missing a valuable opportunity.
1975-S No S
Another No S Dime surfaces in Ohio. GC to handle the auction in October this year. It has been estimated that the coin will fetch $500K or more. Only two are known to exist.
You heard it here first. Keep checking those proof dimes.

Everyone:
Here’s something that might interest some others here; the Royal UK mint is opening a gold recovery plant in Wales. They are recycling common printed circuit boards, found in virtually everything these days. I knew a tiny amount of gold is routinely used in making PCB’s, but not that it is commercially feasible to recover said tiny fractions. I suppose the extraordinary price of Au worldwide has some positive consequences.

Thanks Sam!
I just tried to include a couple photos of a coin I picked up but I’ve lost it, the entire Post. Maybe it’ll show up later. It was a 1907 MS66 $2 1/2 Liberty Head gold coin.
I’ll wait to see if it appears. It did say in the upper right hand corner it was uploading the photo then everything disappeared.
Rick, E 1, how do you upload photos? Thx
AKBob, Regarding the upload of photos…….It can be a little tricky…… Conditions for a Successful Upload Include: Using a Microsoft PC The file size must be less than 2.00MB. JPEG or .jpg is the best file format. I usually open prior in “Paint” to crop, rotate, or block the image. Save any changes in Paint. A camera set to “Medium Resolution” makes things easier. Usually, if the upload doesn’t take, the file size is over 2.000MB. Use the cycling grey column bar indicator in the upper right corner for loading status. I like to do everything from my ‘Desktop.” Give… Read more »
Additionally, you can only upload “One” photo per post.

Rick, that 66+ is drop dead gorgeous! I like your Indian too. I just picked up two of those as well, (1909 & 1915), both raw/ungraded. I picked up a 1907 D MS65 $5 Liberty Head too!! I’m going to send in my two ungraded $5 Indian coins to PCGS. They look Uncirculated. Hoping for at least a couple MS63’s. When I picked up that 66, I was thinking of JohnQ.

Id much rather have a well deserved walt disney “coin” over super heroes …. anything
Domenic Vaiasicca,
“Super heroes” are neither super nor are they heroes. As it is though, apparently the bank accounts of those who one way or another make a (darn good) living off these imaginary creatures are quite fantastic. Which, essentially, is why we are about to be graced with a whole series of these pointless coins.
exactly
Looks like somebody lit a fire under Palladium today. Up, up and away!
I am just not interested in these coins! I wouldn’t be interested in them if they were gold even and most of you all here know I’m more of a gold bug than silver stacker. I was a silver stacker for years tho and it served me very well I must say. Now, I’m selling my silver and replacing it with gold. I’ve got that “gold fever”, lol! I just have to sell, save then buy. I’m having a ball doing this too. I never thot I’d be able to afford gold. Buying a 1/10th oz gold coin was a… Read more »
AK,
Good work on the silver stacking!
Also, it’s good that you’re authenticating those $5 Indian Gold coins. They were often counterfeited..
Good luck with the grades!
Rick, I’m always very, very cautious when it comes to raw, ungraded/uncertified coins, especially gold coins. There are so many counterfeit coins, both silver and gold out there. I’m trying to purchase higher graded examples of gold coins. At least MS65 but I’m shooting for MS66 coins. Boy, you can go thru some money fast buying gold, lol!! I’m finding that out!! I’m really liking the Liberty Head $2 1/2 & $5 coins as well as the incused $2 1/2 & $5 Indian Head coins!! I think I’m going to try and get one of each over time! Some in… Read more »
AKBob,
Congratulations on having all those years of silver stacking paying off for you in such a big way now as the proceeds from the sale of those piles of accumulated silver are serving to fund your current gold purchases!
Kaiser, thank you My Friend! It seemed like it took a very long time. I really enjoyed stacking, all the while not realizing I could at some point, sell my Silver and reinvest into Gold. I kind of accidentally fell into this kind of stacking Silver first, then collecting Gold! I never thot for a second I’d ever be able to afford Gold! I did stack the kind of Silver that had both intrinsic and melt value mostly. That helped me to get more money when I sold, for example, I purchased well over 100 – 2021 Mor/Pea Silver Dollars.… Read more »
You’re very welcome, AKBob! I always find your fascinating stories of how the various parts and eras of your coin collecting career all keep coming together and connecting with one another for a greater purpose and a specific goal in mind to be very instructive and helpful. I also believe that your sharing with others of the numismatic journey you have been and are still embarked upon on is not just a wellspring of great inspiration but a wonderful source of individual encouragement to everyone; I know it definitely is to me!
