2013 West Point Two Coin Silver Set!

2013 American Silver Eagle / West Point Two Coin Silver Set

The US Mint is releasing a new set and the price is a bit of a discussion on Facebook. I guess number of sales will show if the premium was too high or not. 

Silver Eagles! Premiums to high?

Is it just me or is it impossible to find any Silver Eagles with low premiums out there? I see lot of shipping delays from all the online shops. I called my two local coins shops, no Silver Eagles available and no 90%. Yikes! Anyone have good suggestions on where to score some good deals on 1oz rounds or coins?

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.

2013 Chinese Silver Panda

The 2013 Chinese Silver Panda is a beautiful coin. I wanted to learn more about it and it's history so I went right over to wikipedia! This is what I found. 8,000,000 coins were minted for 2013. The first silver panda was minted in 1983 as a proof and frosted proof. On the obverse side is the Temple of Heaven and the reverse side is of course why people love these coins, the pandas. This is my first panda. What year was yours?

Let me know what you think. 2005 American Eagle. 1oz of fine silver. 90% half dollars. A Walking Liberty and a Barber half. What was your first coin?
