State quarter and die from mint

I never knew the mint did this (lol maybe I'm the only one). For $35 plus shipping you get a Unc state quarted, and one of the dies used to strike the coins. I think that's pretty cool, just something else I have to put on my list, which is now about 2 miles long . Has anyone ever bought one before?

what would you want to do with the die for the coins? is that considered a collectable?

I guess, I still think it would be pretty cool to actually have one of the dies though. The mint has been selling the dies since the state quarter program started I believe, so I'm way late on this news lol. I got to start checking the mint site more often.

 

I did not know they did this either. I think it is cool and will put that on my list also

 

As long as you realize that the complete coin image on the die has been ground off, leaving bare metal. So it is just a hunk of metal. Any state quarter die is the same as any other, since the image has been ground completely off.

 

I thought they stopped selling those?
