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.

Copper Bullion?

So here I was doing some online shopping when I came across some copper bullion. Now I've heard of people collecting pennies and some nickles but I have never seen shiny new copper bullion. SO it sparked my interest and I did a little online research. A 1oz Copper round goes for about $1.50 - $1.89. Some peoples opinion online seemed to be that copper bullion for stacking was a waste of money and overpriced. Spot price for a pound of copper goes for $3.50 so purchasing a 1oz round would mean that I would be paying a high premium. But, since I wasn't spending my life savings, just a few bucks I thought, hey why not! The main reason I purchased them was that I thought this avenue would be a nice affordable way to get my little nephews interested in collecting coins. 

Really cool interesting fact on the Lakota Crazy Horse coins I picked up. It's an official form of currency! Yes, within the Lakota Sioux tribe!

Below are some pictures of a few copper rounds I picked up. Are you into copper bullion? What are your thoughts on stacking copper?
