YouTube Prize Haul !

I'm super happy to share my 2nd place prize I won from a YouTube contest. I scored an awesome Canadian Silver Dollar , an air-tite which came in handy for my Canadian Maple Leaf with a snake privy as well as a certificate for sending in coins to ICG and getting a coin slabbed and certified. A BIG thank you to Mr Aparicio! What a generous prize. Here is a link to his channel. Check it out!

2012 Limited Edition Silver Proof Set

The U.S. Mint has this wonderful silver proof set and it is on my wish list! Looks like this set has a limited mintage of  50,000. A very popular pick with coin collectors. YouTube already has a few videos with folks sharing their set. The Limited Edition set comes with 1/ American Eagle One Ounce Silver Proof Coin, 5/ Quarters from the America The Beautiful Quarters Program, 1 Kennedy half-dollar and 1/ Roosevelt dime. So eight pieces total. What I like about this set is the over all  look of the packaging and the case it all comes in. Oh! the 5/quarters if your wondering are the El Yunque National forest (PR), Chaco National Historical Park (NM), Acadia National Park (Maine), Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park and Denali National Park (AL).  If you would like more info on this exquisite set you can find it at usmint.gov.
