The United States Mint will offer a unique range of products in July to include the first of the 2014 First Spouse Gold Coins, the first 2014 50th Anniversary Kennedy Set, and a set for young numismatists featuring a 2014 Baseball coin.
Then there are normal annually issued products like an uncirculated set of America the Beautiful Quarters and coin cover with Presidential $1 Coins […]
The upcoming introduction of the 2012 San Francisco Silver Eagle Two-Coin Proof Set by the United States Mint has been a robust topic of discussion for collector and news sites.
Revealed in a CoinNews.net article on Thursday was its $149.95 price, an area that has elicited a fair share of comments from collectors about it being too high. With the U.S. Mint having already released its standard 2012-dated proof Silver Eagle at $59.95, doubling that reaches well short of the set’s price […]
Today, May 29, 2012, the United States Mint released the El Yunque 5 Ounce Silver Uncirculated Coin, the first of five 2012-dated America the Beautiful 5 Ounce Silver Uncirculated Coins.
Despite recently lower silver prices, its sales price of $204.95 was expected for the most part since the United States Mint was and is still offering older 5 ounce silver coins for the same price […]
While June is not typically considered a peak period for coin collecting, the United States Mint indicates several new and popular products will be released during the month. In fact, the newest version of the U.S. Mint’s product schedule shows eight new releases will make their debuts in June.
Of those eight, one contains a commemorative silver dollar, one is a popular annual set and two are presidential $1 coin products. The remaining four releases include a special American Silver Eagle Set and three America the Beautiful Quarters® products […]
Late Friday, May 25, the United States Mint offered additional information about 2012-S America the Beautiful quarters from San Francisco — new coins that will be produced in circulation quality but not delivered for use in commerce like other circulation quality quarters that are minted in Denver or Philadelphia.
Over the years, California’s San Francisco Mint has become most known for the collector coins it produces in proof qualities for placement in annual clad proof sets and silver proof sets […]
On May 25, 2012, the United States Mint started accepting orders for rolls, bags and boxes of Grover Cleveland Presidential $1 Coins representing his first term. On November 16, 2012, the Mint issued coins for his second term.
Cleveland was the 22nd and 24th President of the United States, and the only President to serve two nonconsecutive terms (1885-1889 and 1893-1897). As such, he is not only counted twice in the number of presidents but he will also be depicted with two distinct portraits on separate Presidential dollars, as shown in the first term and second term $1 coin images above […]
Today, May 21, 2012, the United States Mint released the 2012 Mint Uncirculated Coin Set for a price of $27.95, plus shipping and handling. The set is one of the Mint’s core annual offerings, and one of its most popular numismatic products.
The 28 uncirculated coins in the 2012 Mint Set are divided by the mint facility that produced them and within two folders with each containing 14 coins. Those facilities are the Philadelphia Mint and Denver Mint […]
Rolls of 2011 Kennedy Half Dollar coins went off sale Tuesday, May 15, 2012 when, on the same day, the United States Mint released bags and rolls containing this year’s Kennedy Half Dollar.
This is not unusual, although the United States Mint has and currently does offer older products even when newer releases come out — the May 7th release of the 2012 Proof Set is one example, with the 2011-dated set still on sale […]
2012 Native American $1 Coins were released in rolls and boxes on April 26 and then within bags on May 14.
Premiums for these $1 coin products are fairly significant when coupled with the standard shipping and handling charges of the United States Mint.
Yet, since these dollars are not produced for circulation and therefore will not be found within pocket change, collectors have little choice but to hand out the few extra bucks to acquire even one of the products from the Mint […]
Released May 7, 2012 with pricing at $31.95, the 2012 Proof Set is expected to be the most purchased numismatic product issued by the United States Mint this year.
If sales stay on par with recent releases, more than one million of the sets will be sold before they go off sale at a yet to be determined date. As the most recent example, the 2011 Proof Set, which went on sale January 22, 2011 and is still available from the U.S. Mint, has sales of 1,075,932 as of May 7, 2012 […]
Chester Arthur Presidential $1 Coins were released one month ago (April 5) and sold by the United States Mint within 25-coin rolls and 250- and 500-coin boxes.
On Monday, April 30, 2012, the United States Mint also made available 100-coin bags containing the dollars for $111.95. Like the rolls and boxes, product options for the bags include the choice of coins produced in either the Philadelphia Mint or Denver Mint […]
