I've been a mint customer since the 1980's when the modern commemoratives started. I've bought a lot of them over the last 37 years but I can't...
Love the Madison coin and Randy's Washington. Never cared much for any of the Olympic coins over the years, although I've bought a few in days...
Yes, it looks like you've got it. In days gone by, nickels weren't always well struck and full steps were rare. In modern times, the mint has...
Yes, they all have the steps but many are not well struck. A Jefferson nickel with the steps all the way across the front of the Memorial is...

Unless the mint issues a 2020 ASE with a 25,000 limit, rendering the 2019 issue passe. Then a 2021 at 20,000 limit, etc. Rinse and repeat. Not...
Very nice. A classic U.S. coin!
It's pretty cool when you have a folder labelled "1922-to-date" and it ends in 1954!
It resembles a U.S. stock certificate (except for the Japanese text :)).
Yes, agree with Conder101, it is my understanding that it will be "Crossing the Delaware". There was a window of time where the Secretary could...
