The mint recently adjusted prices after the huge spike in precious metals. Anything containing gold or silver got ridiculously expensive. For...
Because gold bullets won't stop a werewolf. :)
Wait a minute, he knows you're talking about a coin, right??:):hilarious::)
I guess those massive price tags didn't keep everyone away. I suspect there's a lot of interest from the public at large, as opposed to us coin...
I want one of those lights! What's the story behind the counter-stamped quarters? (You probably already explained it but I missed it)

According to USMint.gov, silver proof sets will be released in April. Uncirculated sets and regular proof sets will be released in Summer (no...

Neat story! When I was younger, my friend and 3rd baseman on our softball team was from Marion. I played a few softball tournaments there. How...
FWIW, it was announced on the mint's site that they began shipping them on January 5...
Well, look at it this way - in 100 years, when you look back at the purchase price, it will seem crazy cheap. ;)
Agreed, it looks like silver is up something close to 200% from this time last year, so the silver increases are understandable, the customary...
