[QUOTE="Vess1, post: 384532, member: 13650"]Wow, this thread took off while I wasn't looking! Yeah, I love this set. I'm still waiting for mine to arrive though. I'm surprised the $5 golds haven't run out yet. With a mintage of only 100,000 I would have thought they'd be gone. I have to get that one yet. Maybe next month. :D I was looking through the commemoratives they've come out with in the red book the other day and ran across the 1992 Christopher Columbus commems. Just ordered a couple of them up too. The silver dollar obverse showing half the Santa Maria next to half the space shuttle Discovery was too cool of a design not to own! I'm also partial to the George Washington half from 82. My dad bought me a proof when I was a kid. Still have it. That was the first commemorative the mint put out since the 50s and the first 90% silver coin they produced since 64, it said in the RB. Pretty cool. I didn't realize they were silver.
