It is hard to believe this year is about gone. Think 2006 was a classic year as far as coins . I am curious about what collectors see as key releases from the mint in 2007. What will be hot
Hot items for 2007: The mint will introduce several new items: 1) The Matte finish 5 cent size washer. 2) Complete set of washers, direct from The Home Depot, also available in reverse proof. 3) Golden President's dark chocolate dollar size coins. They can be slabbed, but the mint strongly recommends that they be kept out of the heat. Refrigeration is recommended. PCGS has already announced a new line of slabs with refrigerant built in. 4) Special edition, with TFYM Mintmarks on all circulating coins. (The TFYM mintmark looks strangely like it stands for "Thanks For Your Money", although the Mint has refused to return phone calls about this.) 5) Special Commemoratives about the creation of the SBA dollar and the Sacagawea dollar. They feel that it is important to commemorate extraordinary accomplishments by the mint in creating circulating dollar Coins. The coins will be produce by the billions but no one will see any of them. Collectors are encouraged to buy them by the sack full. (Advertising campaign will be created by the same firm as the some who created White Castle's hamburger ads: "Buy em by the sackfull." White Castle had no comment. More special editions to follow as each month passes. The Mint said, in an official release: " Collectors should just send their money in. We'll decide what to send them."
Frank, Do you know if the matte finish 5 cent washers will be made out of flat washers or lock washers. Thanks Bruce.
at least you can get some use out of the washers and hopefully it will not be a clad. could use a new frig.
Newsflash: Hot of the Mint's website: " All washers will be brass plated. They will be advertised as Golden!!" Get your's today!
