What do you think of recent super low mintage U.S. Mint issues?

I am, and I won't get mine till Aug.

Well, apparently most, including the Red Book, don't agree because that's where they're/will be listed.

 

If there ever was a sleeper in moderns, it is business strike Ikes in high grade. The coins are difficult in high grade and have a dedicated collector base to boot.

P.S. I am not a modern coin person, but I must admit that your prototype Ike is very neat and something I truly appreciate as a collectible.

 

Are the gold Kennedy 50c coins part of the regular Kennedy series? A simple yes or no will suffice.

 

The Red Book says that the 1807 "Bearded Goddess" half dollar is a separate variety than the "normal" 1807 half simply based on a fancy nickname, too. Doesn't make it correct.

 

They are? Where are they hiding the reverse proofs for 2007-2010 You'd better stick to state quarters, guy!

Get help dude, there are drugs for memory issues. There were no PR's for 2007-2010.

 

Well, I’ve got to get something done today. All you geriatrics who only collect 100 year old coins, continue to misstate the facts and disregard my premise to attempt to prove your point. I’ll be on later to debunk you.

Just for the record, if anyone wants to deal with the facts, list a coin that is part of a regular series, with 100k or less mintage, that was issued in the last 20 years (when the mint started these issues), that did not perform well.

 

To do that there would have to BE such a coin. I don't know of any such items. None of the items in your list fit your own qualifications.

 

That's exactly my point! The reverse proof was issued in 2006, but not 2007-2010. That doesn't make them a regular issue, and the Mint can discontinue them, at any time. I don't need help, you do! Get off the drugs!

Have fun at the comedy club!

Most couldn't say who the current president is!

 

He may have a point about the dimes not being commemoratives.

Only congress can authorize commemorative coinage.

Shown Here:
Public Law (12/18/2012)
(This measure has not been amended since it was passed by the House on August 1, 2012. The summary of that version is repeated here.)

March of Dimes Commemorative Coin Act of 2012 - Directs the Secretary of the Treasury to mint and issue up to 500,000 $1 silver coins emblematic of the mission and programs of the March of Dimes.
Requires the design of the coins to be emblematic of the mission and programs of the March of Dimes and its record of generating Americans' support to protect our children's health.

Permits issuance of such coins only during the one-year period beginning on January 1, 2015.

Requires all surcharges received by the Secretary from the sale of such coins to be promptly paid to the March of Dimes to help finance research, education, and services aimed at improving the health of women, infants, and children.

Subjects the March of Dimes to federal audit requirements.

Instructs the Secretary to take necessary action to ensure that: (1) minting and issuing coins under this Act will not result in any net cost to the federal government; and (2) no funds, including applicable surcharges, shall be disbursed to March of Dimes to help finance research, education, and services aimed at improving the health of women, infants, and children until the total cost of designing and issuing the coins authorized by this Act is recovered by the Treasury.

 

I'm not old by any measure. I will guess, however, by your inability to comprehend what others are saying and your immaturity that you were born within the last 20 years (and thus, the real reason for the arbitrary cutoff).

 

Had to check in before I left. Your lack of insight is not surprising.

 

Alright let's try to deal with the facts and stop the name calling, as I will try to do as well. ttyl

 

Since when does where the Red Book lists something mean it's right? It's the Red Book, not the "Gospel according to numismatics"...

 

I am always up to a challenge. I think the 2010 5 oz ATB pucks all have well under 100,000 mintage (actually 30,000 or less). All cost $279, and all are selling for about $75-$100 less than that on eBay now. Of course, spot price of silver tanked and these will likely appreciate down the road as silver rebounds, but I think that meets your criteria. I will hang onto mine at least until the series ends. TC

 

This thread reminds me of this picture...

 

I was waiting for this one. Depends on how you look at these Pucks. Given the decline in silver, they have done quite well, they have not tanked as much as silver and many have appreciated far above their issue price. I'm holding mine too, as I expect to see some decent numismatic appreciation, regardless of what silver does.

Ok, I'm out to the comedy club.
