    My auto ship order processed this AM. Free shipping if you do not rush the shipping.

    Getting mine automatically through enrollment, but not happy about the price ($55.95), considering silver is at ~$17.30.

    Yeah, the price seems to go up a couple of bucks a year. As far as the price of silver goes, doesn’t the Mint lock into a hedging contract?

    Not too worried about the price since it may be the only business the Mint gets from me this year.

    The price of the silver is SUCH a minor portion of the cost of making ASE proofs that I'm amazed anyone even mentions it. Look around! The price of CLAD commemorative halves is now well north of $20, and it even has crummy packaging.

    The answer is almost certainly YES. The Mint nearly always has their opening new year sale item available at F.U.N. I'd be surprised if there isn't a show label available, for those into that.

    It is actually cheaper this year with a subscription. It use to cost $2 more including shipping, which is free this year. I'm happy.

    The usual show label options are available again at FUN if someone wanted those

    Since they moved to the flat background from the basined one, I haven't been as interest in them. I don't remember when the made the change, but I think it was in the early 90's. Nice coin, but it's like buying a 1962 Ford Falcon that they haven't changed the design of, and it's 1994.
