<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mkwelbornjr, post: 1131537, member: 17034&quot;]There are some such as myself who collect private mint issues and collectibles..in addition to real US coins. But some of these Washington Mint pieces vary in quality. I have found some of the strikes to be weak in cases. I picked up the 2011 Half Pound Silver Eagle and the relief is amazing. So it depends on who strikes these for WM. Most on here only collect US Mint coins, nothing wrong with preference, but they have little tolerance (and speak for what everyone else wants too) for World coins or private issued pieces...many of which are beautiful strikings. And if you like the piece then cost or re-sale shouldnt matter.&nbsp; Most of these WM items do hold just melt value..as most are not that exciting.&nbsp; I personally would may a premium for a mint in shipping box 1993 Bill Clinton Inaugural Set featuring Washington Mint medals, prepared by Asset Marketing as an upsell to those who bought a Clinton Silver Medal.&nbsp; The case was fine USA walnut with a hand gathered velvet interior.&nbsp; I will gladly pay a premium for something like that in brand new condition.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img src="http://i454.photobucket.com/albums/qq263/mkwelbornjr/NC%20Mint/WashingtonMint2011Half-PoundSilverEagle-2.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i454.photobucket.com/albums/qq263/mkwelbornjr/NC%20Mint/WashingtonMint2011Half-PoundSilverEagle-3.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
