American Silver Eagle 25th Anniversary Set

coin collector — Fri, 25 Nov 2011 21:08:09 +0000

American Silver Eagle 25th Anniversary Set was released on October 27 and promptly sold out in 4 1/2 hours.

American Silver Eagle 25th Anniversary Set values are scorching hot. So much so that some collectors who originally purchased one solely for their collection are now considering letting it go. With the profits, some say, a few bills can be paid with money still left over for other coins. On the flip side, many collectors have commented that they will never let theirs go.

The United States Mint sold the American Silver Eagle 25th Anniversary Set for $299.95. After they sold out, prices quickly doubled. The fervor, in part, led to a temporarily hiatus as eBay halted set auctions until sellers had physical possession of the sets. Now that they are shipping, several hundred auction listings are again on eBay.

If you did not get the set thru the Mint, don't miss the opportunity to own it - check these eBay auctions:

More about the set. The first layer of packaging for the set involved a navy blue sleeve with the US Mint’s logo and description in silver print, ‘AMERICAN EAGLE 25TH ANNIVERSARY SILVER COIN SET’. Inside the sleeve is a navy blue rectangular outer box with the same United States Mint logo and writing on its top lid. This outer box feels like a specially coated cardboard box and has one unattached side that makes removal of the set much easier.

The 2011 Proof Silver Eagle with the ‘W’ mint mark has a finish that is specially designed for collectors. The carefully sculpted foreground images on both sides of the coin are frosted so that they stand out against the highly polished mirror-like background surface. This type of engraving technique creates a very dramatic cameo effect.

Mount Hood National Forest takes its name from the massive volcano found within the park’s boundaries. The mountain itself was named after British Admiral Samuel Hood in 1792. However, the Native Americans of the region had known it as Wy’east for centuries before that.

The national forest received its current name and status in 1924, however it was known as Oregon National Forest for sixteen years before that. It consists of over 1 million acres and receives over 4 million annual visitors. A large reason for so many visitors is the fact that the forest is located only an hour’s drive from the large city of Portland, Oregon.

The giant panda, or panda (Ailuropoda melanoleuca, literally meaning "black and white cat-foot") is a bear native to central-western and south western China. It is easily recognized by its large, distinctive black patches around the eyes, over the ears, and across its round body. Though it belongs to the order Carnivora, the panda's diet is 99% bamboo.

The panda is a conservation reliant endangered species. A 2007 report shows 239 pandas living in captivity inside China and another 27 outside the country. Wild population estimates vary; one estimate shows that there are about 1,590 individuals living in the wild,[9] while a 2006 study via DNA analysis estimated that this figure could be as high as 2,000 to 3,000.

While the dragon has historically served as China's national emblem, in recent decades the panda has also served as an emblem for the country. Its image appears on a large number of modern Chinese commemorative silver, gold, and platinum coins.
The giant panda has a body shape typical of bears. It has black fur on its ears, eye patches, muzzle, legs, arms and shoulders. The rest of the animal's coat is white. Although scientists do not know why these unusual bears are black and white, some speculate that the bold coloring provides effective camouflage in its shade-dappled snowy and rocky surroundings. The giant panda's thick, wooly coat keeps it warm in the cool forests of its habitat. The giant panda has large molar teeth and strong jaw muscles for crushing tough bamboo.

During the 1950's through the early 1970's and possibly even later than that, untold numbers of these beautiful coins were dipped white by dealers because toning was considered undesirable thus reducing the number of beautiful and unique examples out there. These are true rarities with beauty that goes far beyond the numismatic heritage of the Morgan Dollar.

How Morgan Dollars Toned

Morgan Silver Dollar, produced from 1878 until 1904 and again in 1921 were in heavy supply and many more were struck than were required for circulation. Freshly struck examples were stored at the US Treasury in canvas bags until they were eventually released or sold to the public during the GSA (General Services Administration). Other hoards, including the Battle Creek and the Continental Bank Hoard produced many incredibly toned coins as well. These coins sat in canvas bags for nearly a century. During that time, the coins closest to the canvas of the bag or near the top of the bag were constantly bombarded by a minute concentration of sulfur. Sulfur was infused in the canvas bags in an attempt to reduce the damage caused by rats chewing on them. The silver reacted with the sulfur to form a thin film of silver-sulfide on the surface of the coins, which reflects and refracts the light so that we see the colors of the rainbow on the coins surface.

Krugerrand Gold Coins – The Granddaddy Of Modern Gold Bullion Coins

coin collector — Mon, 20 Jun 2011 20:51:47 +0000

The fabulous Krugerrand gold coin has become the most well-known contemporary gold bullion coin. Launched in 1967 from the South African Mint Company, it was intended to circulate as a legal tender currency. The Krugerrand grew to be sought-after that in 1980, 13 years after it had been released, it accounted for 90 % of the gold bullion market!

The coin is 22 karat gold and is composed of 91.67% gold and 8.33% copper. This gold alloy combination makes the gold Krugerrand more durable than other gold bullion coins. The durability factor was an important consideration when designing the coin as it was intended to be circulated and had to be resistant to scratches and dents.

The most popular version of the coin, the 1 ounce size, weighs approximately 1.09 troy ozs, is 2.84 mm thick, and measures 32.77 mm in diameter. In 1980, three smaller varieties also became available, each containing one half ounce, one quarter ounce, and one tenth ounce of gold, respectively.

Explore our collection of Krugerrand Gold Coins - click here...

The front side (obverse) of the Krugerrand features the face of the 5^th president of the South African Republic, Stephanus Jonannes Paulus Kruger. The name of the coin was actually derived from Kruger's surname and the Rand, which is the official currency of South Africa. Also inscribed on the obverse side in capital letters are the words "Afrikaans" and the English version, "South Africa."

The back side of the coin (reverse) features a picture of the South African National symbol, the springbok or antelope specie. At the top of the coin, is the inscription of the word, KRUGERRAND, the coin's name. At the bottom, inscribed in both English and Afrikaans is the Krugerrand's gold content. If the coin happened to be the one ounce variety, the inscription would be, "FYNGOUD 1 OZ FINE GOLD."

Because of the remarkable success of the South African Gold Krugerrand, other foreign countries such as the U.S., Canada, and Australia began to mint their own gold bullion coins. Canada was the first to do so in 1979 when it released the Canadian Gold Maple Leaf.

Collectors can also obtain the coin in proof edition, but they are more expensive than the regular bullion variety. Unlike many of the other bullion coins, such as the Canadian Maple Leaf and American Eagle, which are also produced in silver, Krugerrand gold coins are only available in gold. Beware of any websites offering these fake silver versions!

These lands were first set aside as a national reserve on February 22, 1897.

Own this historical silver coin today, it will certainly appreciate in value over the time.

American Buffalo Gold Bullion 24 Karats

coin collector — Sun, 22 May 2011 05:26:05 +0000

Adding American Buffalo gold bullion to your portfolio is a safe and valuable investment. It is also known as the American Buffalo gold proof coin. This American Buffalo gold proof coin was first made available for public sale back in June 2006, which immediately made it the first government minted coin for public trading of pure 24 karat gold. Gold proof at 24 karats is as pure as you can get.

On its initial year of debut, the2006 American Buffalo gold coin was valued at approximately 800 US dollars. Currently, the now famous coin has a face value of about 50 US dollars. This is due to the fact that in 2005 the Presidential One Dollar Coin Act was enacted and responsible for the production of this gold proof coin by requiring a coin be made with a face value of 50 US dollars and a content of 1 oz of 24-karat gold. Only 300,000 of these 2006 American Buffalo gold coins were ever minted. Furthermore, the government enforced another limit of only 10 coins per household allowed which instantly made them a highly sought after collector's item.

The American Buffalo gold coin design was inspired from the well known Indian Head nickel, which was originally created in 1913 by James Earl Fraser. There were very minute changes made to the original nickel. For example, some of the mound of earth below the buffalo's hooves were decreased to give it a cleaner look. The conception of the Indian Head nickel is widely known as one of the most attractive creations to ever be used on any US government minted gold proof coins.

At the front of the coin you can see a picture of a Native American Indian. The head is facing the right side and he also has a feather on the top of his head. Imprinted on the upper right corner of the gold coin is the word "Liberty" and the date, that the coin was minted, can clearly be seen on the lower left side where his shoulder is. A little known fact about the model that was used for the 2006 gold coin by the artist James Fraser is that he actually had 3 different Native Indian Chiefs pose for him while he was in the process of designing the gold coin. The names of these three Native Indian Chiefs were Iron Tail, Big Tree, and Two Moons. James Earl Fraser borrowed features from all 3 of these great chiefs to complete his intricate design of the American Buffalo gold bullion coin.

On the flip side of the gold coin is a picture of an American Bison which did not require more than one model. History claims that the actual model was a Bison named Black Diamond located in the acclaimed New York City Central Park. Eye witnesses claim that the artist James Fraser had to have a person distract the Bison to make sure the animal was in the correct side position pose rather than just have the Bison face a completely different direction. Because of the incredible demand, recognition and investment value of the original Indian Head nickel, the American Buffalo gold bullion coin was born.

This gold bullion coin was conceived so that it could compete with foreign 24 karat gold bullion coins. Because countless investors prefer 99.99 percent pure American Buffalo gold proof over the 91.67 percent gold used in the also popular American Gold Eagle, many were choosing other countries gold coins to meet their bullion needs. One popular example would be the Canadian Gold Maple Leaf. With the introduction of the 2006 American Buffalo gold coin, the United States government aims to increase the amount of US gold sales so that they can take advantage of the growth in 24-karat sales. This is an ambitious endeavour since 24-karat sales makes up approximately 60 percent of the total world gold market.

During the month of September in 2008 the US Mint that it would cease sales of American Buffalo gold bullion, for an undetermined amount of time, because it cannot keep up with ever increasing demand as investors constantly desire the safety of gold amidst the economic turbulence of the current times, which has greatly affected the price of American Buffalo gold proof coins. That is why if you have an opportunity to add the highly sought after 2006 American Buffalo gold coin to your investment portfolio, do so as quickly as you can!

Reverse Proof Silver Eagle: Rare Mintage Makes This Coin A Hot Commodity

coin collector — Sun, 15 May 2011 20:10:33 +0000

Reverse Proof Silver Eagle was minted only in 2006 to celebrate the American Silver Eagle program's 20th anniversary year. This coin is a hot commodity among coin collectors and investors due to its uniqueness and super low mintage numbers.

The standard silver bullion eagle coin has a mirror-smooth field while the famous Walking Liberty design and other marks are frosted. The "reverse" is true with the Reverse Proof Silver Eagle: the devices are mirrored and the background field offers a frosted finish.

This bullion coin has realized excellent gains in market value in the relatively short time it has been bought and sold.

Specifications:

As an official silver bullion coin of the United States, the Reverse Proof Silver Eagle, like all of the brilliant uncirculated Silver American Eagle Coins, is certified by the U.S. Mint regarding its weight, purity and content. Here are its specifications:

• Each coin contains 1 troy ounce of.999 Fine Silver, i.e., it is 99.9% pure.

• The diameter of each coin is 1.598 inches, or 40.60 mm.

• The width is.177 inches, or 2.98 mm.

• The obverse is a reverse proof of the Lady Liberty design; the reverse is unchanged.

• It was only produced in 2006 only and originally offered as part of a 3-coin set with a regular proof coin and a burnished uncirculated coin.

Elizabeth II Gold Coin

coin collector — Fri, 13 May 2011 19:20:41 +0000

Gold sovereign came into existence in 1489 under King Henry VII, with a value of one pound sterling. The obverse design showed the King (sovereign) seated facing on a throne and that is how new coin gained its name - the sovereign. From 1953, gold sovereign features Queen Elizabeth II on the observe.

The reverse featured a shield on a large double Tudor rose. Sovereigns were then struck for Henry VIII, and for most monarchs until the first coinage of James I.

Now, here is a bit of history about these beautiful gold coins. In 1816, there was a major change in the British coinage, powered by the Industrial Revolution. The Royal Mint acquired powerful new steam powered coining presses designed by Matthew Boulton and James Watt. The reverse design was introduced featuring Saint George slaying a dragon, designed by a brilliant young Italian engraver, Benedetto Pistrucci. This beautiful classic design remains on gold sovereigns today, almost two hundred years later.

Production at the Royal Mint stopped in 1917, although some were minted again in 1925. The branch mints continued to produce sovereigns, Ottawa in Canada until 1919, Bombay in India in 1918, Sydney Australia until 1926, Melbourne and Perth Australia until 1931, and Pretoria South Africa until 1932.

No new sovereigns were issued for circulation until 1957, although sovereigns were included in the George VI proof set of 1937 which was available for collectors, and sovereigns were also minted but not issued for Edward VIII in 1937, and for Queen Elizabeth II in 1953.

From 1957, bullion sovereigns were issued almost every year until 1968, then not until 1974 when regular production was restarted. In 1979, an annual proof version was issued, and this practice continues to the present. In 1989, a special 500th Anniversary commemorative design was produced, inspired by the very first gold sovereign of 1489, showing H.M. Queen Elizabeth II seated facing on a throne.

For 2002, a shield was used on the reverse for just one year to mark the Queen's Golden Jubilee, and then the design reverted to the classic St. George slaying the dragon by Pistrucci.

Platinum Bullion Mintage – Key Countries And Years

coin collector — Mon, 02 May 2011 06:14:17 +0000

Before we go to platinum bullion mintage, let me explain what a mintage means. A mintage means a number of coins specific denominations struck in a given year. This word usually applies to all coins regardless to their metal composition and some are what have been called collector coins.

One of the platinum bullion mintage is the platinum Eagle coins. Usually the mintage coins either platinum, silver or gold has their own regular versions of coins in all denominations, proof version of the coins in all denomination and as well as the collectible uncirculated versions of the coins in all denominations.

Figures are marked with asterisk and the numbers are based on recent sales data. Some is with unaudited US mint sales data where in it differs from the final figures when released by the US mint.

For the collector coins, it is available in 4 coins sets where in the number of the coins sold in the set is reflected in individual mintage data. Example in the 2007 half ounce, the proof platinum eagle number includes sales figures which is the 10th anniversary platinum eagle set but that is stated separately.

In regards for the 2009 proof of platinum eagle, this was on sale December 2009, 03 where in each coins contains 1 ounce of .9995 platinum and struck in proof quality as well.

It has a design of emblematic principle "To Form a More Perfect Union", the reverse features which has depicting 4 faces of diversity with hair and clothing and weaving together. The coins representing the beginning of a new 6 years series designs for the collectible platinum eagle, which features the core concepts of American democracy which is stated in the preamble of the U.S constitution.

Last 2009, the U.S mint stopped accepting orders for the 2009 American Platinum Eagle Proof Coin since they only served to 8,000 coin maximum authorized mintage.

Here are a list of some of the low mintage platinum coins:

* 1998 Platinum Canada Maple Leaf 1 oz 1 oz Coin
* 2002 Platinum Eagles $10 Coin ICG MS70
* 2003 1 20 0z Panda Platinum Coin
* 2006 Eagle Platinum $25 Coin NGC MS70
* 2006 1 2 oz American Eagle Platinum Proof $50 Coin
* 2006 $10 Platinum Eagle PCGS MS69 First Strike 2 Coins
* 2007 W Platinum $50 3 Coin Eagle Set PCGS Proof MS 69
* 2007 American Eagle 10th Anniversary Platinum Coin Set

Now, the coin trading, buying and selling has been the latest trend in the investment when it regards to platinum coins. Take note that selling a platinum mintage can be a lot of tricky and risky especially if you have no knowledge or idea on it.

When you want to buy a platinum bullion mintage, be sure you know the worth of it, how old the platinum coins, its rarity and quality as well of the coins but if ever you have a wide knowledge on it, then there is no problem.

You can also compare the price online, there is nothing wrong in comparing the price of the mintage of platinum bullion but always see to it that you know the current price in the market, which is important.

You can find out the current price of different platinum bullion mintage coins on specialty websites. Shopping online for your platinum coins makes much more sense than visiting your local coin dealer.

American Platinum Eagle Coins

coin collector — Wed, 27 Apr 2011 22:45:25 +0000

The United States government first issued the American Platinum Eagle Coins in 1997, which was more than a decade after initial production of the Gold and Silver American Eagles. These unique coins quickly became the number one platinum bullion coin in the world and the designs featured are entirely new.

Un-circulated American Platinum Eagle coins are all struck at the United States West Point Mint in New York. Although normally none of the un-circulated pieces carry mintmarks there was an exception that occurred in 1999 when the one-tenth ounce and quarter ounce proof dies bearing the 'W' mint mark were prepared by mistake. These 1999-W un-circulated coins are extremely scarce and avid collectors have them at the top of their want lists.

Each American Platinum Eagle coin is guaranteed to contain the exact quantity of platinum stamped on the coin and they meet the rigid quality standards set by the United States Mint. They maintain a unique advantage over all other platinum bullion coins simply because the United States government guarantees their content, weight, and purity. Platinum has become one of the scarcest precious metals in the world, in fact one out of every five consumer products either contains platinum or is produced using platinum.

To explore our collection of platinum coins click here...

The obverse side features the powerful and striking image of "Lady Liberty" looking off into the future symbolizing vigilance, faithfulness to duty, and the American spirit and character. It was designed and engraved by United States Mint sculptor and engraver John M. Mercanti, who also designed the reverse side of the American Silver Eagle Coin. This astonishing coin bears the inscription "Liberty" and the mottoes, "In God We Trust" and "E Pluribus Unum" also on the obverse along with the date of issue. Within the curving exergue side at the bottom of the coin is the face value, and the West Point "W: mint mark is also located on the obverse side.

On the reverse the design features a bald eagle soaring across a setting sun in different regions of America changing each year. Watching over our firm foundation of democracy is the bald eagle our Nation's symbol of power, courage, and freedom, which was shown in different designs between the years of 1998 and 2002 known as the "Vistas of Liberty" series. Then during the years between 2006 and 2008 the United States Mint celebrated the three branches of government with the "Foundation of American Democracy' series.

Platinum American Eagle coins are available in four different sizes and denominations authorized by the United States Congress and backed by the United States Mint for their weight and content. The one-ounce has a diameter of 32.7mm, a thickness of 2.39mm, a weight of 1.0005 troy ounce, and contains one troy ounce of pure .9995 fine platinum with a face value of $100, the highest face value of any American coin ever produced and recently priced at $2,299.95.

The half-ounce platinum American Eagle coin has a diameter of 27mm, a thickness of 1.75mm, a weight of 0.5003 troy ounce, and contains a half-ounce of pure platinum, and has a face value of $50. The quarter-ounce platinum coin has a diameter of 22mm, a thickness of 1.32mm, a weight of 0.2501 troy ounce, and contains a quarter-ounce of pure platinum, and has a face value of $25. The tenth-ounce platinum coin has a diameter of 16.5mm, a thickness of .95mm, a weight of 0.10005 troy ounce, and contains a tenth-ounce of pure platinum and has a face value of $10.

America the Beautiful 5 oz Silver Bullion Coins

coin collector — Fri, 14 Jan 2011 07:14:13 +0000

These silver coins are certainly nothing but the ordinary. America the Beautiful Silver Bullion Coins are 5 ounces of .999 fine silver with special and challenging design elements.

U.S. Mint Director Ed Moy described earlier in the year, part of the delay has been in developing a process to inscribe the fineness and weight on the edge of each coin. The special design element is mandated by the America’s Beautiful National Parks Quarter Dollar Coin Act.

Challenges of incusing the edges, which are particularly thin due to the required bullion coin diameter and weight specifications, have been overcome with the help of a newly purchased coin press that was designed to strike larger coins.

Circulating quarters have a reeded edge — 119 reeds in total, and a diameter of 0.955 inches, or 24.26 millimeters. They weigh just 5.670 grams.

Each America the Beautiful Silver Bullion Coin will:

* have a 3.0 inch diameter versus 0.955 inches for the quarters;weigh 5.0 ounces as compared to the weight of

* 11.340 grams in each quarter;have a composition of .999 fine silver versus the cupro-nickel metals in quarters;

* have incused into the edge the fineness and weight of the bullion coin as compared to the reeded edge of a quarter.

The five quarter-dollars this year that will be replicated in design include:

2010 Hot Springs National Park Quarter for Arkansas,

2010 Yellowstone National Park Quarter for Wyoming,

2010 Yosemite National Park Quarter for California,

2010 Grand Canyon National Quarter Park for Arizona, and

2010 Mount Hood National Quarter Forest for Oregon

What Is New in Coin Collecting For 2010

coin collector — Fri, 10 Dec 2010 01:32:03 +0000

Coin collecting is a great hobby that has withstood the test of time. There is something distinctly fascinating about money or any type of coinage for enthusiasts of all ages: whether you use your collection as an investment, or whether you are planning on starting a new hobby with your grandkids, here's a quick peek at what's new in coin collecting for 2010.

Collectible Quarters

Minting quarters whose reverse designs spotlighted each of the 50 states has been in practice since 1999. The two rotations issued have so far been met with wild enthusiasm by collectors and the public at large, so the U.S Mint will be issuing a new series beginning in 2010. They are calling this series "America the Beautiful" and each state's coin will feature a National Park or Site contained within its boundaries. Collecting these quarters is inexpensive, and this series is ideal for getting kids interested in coin collecting.

Silver Dollars

Silver dollars are such popular collectors' items that they are always widely sought. For 2010, there will be two commemorative designs issued: one is to honor the 100th anniversary of the Boy Scouts of America; the other honors veterans who have been disabled for life. According to information provided by those in charge of the commemorative coins program, there will only be 350,000 of these coins issued during the year.

Presidential and First Spouse Series

If you are into collecting these gold coins, 2010 is the year for Abraham Lincoln and Mary Todd Lincoln! Because of this President's enduring popularity, collectors will have to be on the ball and act fast to pick up one of these commemorative gold dollars.

If you've always wanted to get into coin collecting but have been dragging your feet, 2010 is a great year to start!

2010 Boy Scouts Silver Dollars Sold Out

coin collector — Mon, 09 Aug 2010 06:18:56 +0000

The 2010 Boy Scouts Silver Dollar proof coins were launched on March 23, 2010, along with their uncirculated counterparts, to overwhelming demand.

In fact, ordering in the first few hours was so intense that the U.S. Mint online store and telephone systems experienced significant issues reminiscent of the troubles that occurred during last year Lincoln Coin and Chronicles Set release.

200,000 Boy Scout Silver Dollars were sold during the first four days of their release, accounting for well over half of the maximum 350,000 mintage allowed by law.

Sales following this point remained brisk with thousands ordered weekly. Jump ahead almost exactly one month to April 26, 2010, and the Mint took its first major step since the coins launched by placing future uncirculated orders on a waiting list. This effectively meant that the Mint had sold the entire mintage it had allocated for the uncirculated strikes, but was accepting “back-up” orders in case some became available through order cancellations, customer returns, etc.

A few days later, enough customers had joined the standby list that the Mint declared their sell out. Preliminary sales figures showed almost 105,000 had been sold, indicating the Mint would be using a 70/30 split where 70% of the coins were proof and 30% uncirculated.

The Mint continued to sell the proof silver dollars for several more weeks until June 18, 2010 when their waiting list was enabled. That is exactly where the commemorative coins remained for six weeks.

Finally, the Mint declared an official sell out on Wednesday, August 4, 2010. The mintage split for the coins turned out to be 245,000 for the proof and 105,000 for the uncirculated.

For now and until 2011, the only commemorative coin available from the Mint is the 2010 American Veterans Disabled for Life Silver Dollar. These coins were actually released a month prior to the 2010 Boy Scouts Silver Dollars, and are available in both proof and uncirculated.

Boy Scouts Silver Dollar Designs
The obverse or heads side of the Boy Scout coin contained the images of three youth members of the Scouting organization: a Cub Scout, a female Venturer and a Boy Scout. Each were shown in their full uniform while giving a salute. Around the scouts were found the inscriptions: CONTINUING THE JOURNEY, 1910, 2010, IN GOD WE TRUST and LIBERTY. It was designed by Donna Weaver and engraved by Charles Vickers.

Jim Licaretz engraved the universal emblem of the Boy Scouts of America which was featured on the reverse. Surrounding the emblem were the inscriptions UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, BOY SCOUTS OF AMERICA, BE PREPARED, E PLURIBUS UNUM and ONE DOLLAR.

The National Boy Scouts of America Foundation will receive a total of $3.5 million, as each silver dollar sold included a $10 surcharge for the "extension of Scouting in hard to serve areas."

2009 Platinum Eagle Coin – Sold Out at the Mint

coin collector — Sun, 13 Dec 2009 21:44:31 +0000

The US Mint released 2009 American Eagle One Ounce Platinum Proof Coin in December and has sold out of the coins, as had been predicted by many numismatic resources. And it took about a week.

Platinum eagle coins were struck at the Mint’s facility at West Point and release was limited to a mintage of only 8,000. The obverse on this year’s Platinum features the first of six annual designs dedicated to the six principles of the Preamble of the United States Constitution.

The 2009 reverse theme depicts "To Form a More Perfect Union" by using four faces to represent the diversity of the Nation with interweaving hair and clothing. It was designed by Susan Gamble and sculpted by Phebe Hemphill.

The obverse side remains unchanged, featuring Lady Liberty along with the inscriptions "LIBIERTY," "IN GOD WE TRUST," "E PLURIBUS UNUM" and the year.

New element added this year is an American Eagle "privy mark," based on an original "coin punch" identified at the United States Mint at Philadelphia.

Gold American Eagles and the United States Mint

coin collector — Mon, 07 Dec 2009 03:41:14 +0000

Authorized by Congress in 1792, the United States Mint is our country's exclusive producer of legal tender coins. It's main mission is to generate an adequate quantity of circulating coinage for the United States to conduct its commerce and trade. The United States Mint also manufactures proof, uncirculated and commemorative coins, including Gold Congressional Medals and platinum, silver and gold bullion coins.

Among the most popular coins that are put out by the Mint are the coins that are produced for it's American Gold, Silver and Platinum Eagle Coin Programs. From the time of it's initial release back in nineteen-eighty-six, it's four sizes, the one-ounce, half-ounce, quarter-ounce and one-tenth ounce denominations have developed into the world's most widely traded and highly regarded gold bullion coins. They are sought after by coin collectors worldwide and recognized as one of the finest purchases that a potential bullion investor or coins collector can possibly make.

The attractive and classic design of the American Gold Eagle coin is showcased in the graceful Striding Liberty Coin, which was first created by Augustus Saint Gaudens for the United States Double Gold Eagle. The reverse displays a nest that contains a female American eagle with her hatchlings, suggestive of the strength and security of the American family.

The American Gold Eagle is considered to be among one of the best options for both new and experienced gold bullion investors, as these are the only bullion coins guaranteed for weight, content, and purity by the United States government. Currently, only gold that is mined here in America is used in the production of the coin.

Because of the record demand for this past year for American Eagle Coins, the United States Mint suspended the manufacture of the uncirculated and proof editions of these coins in 2009. The remaining coin blanks have instead been allocated to the American Gold Eagle coin program as stated by Public Laws 99-61 and 99-185. Both laws direct the agency to produce these coins in numbers sufficient to satisfy public demand. The uncirculated and proof versions of the American Eagle Gold and Silver Proof Coins are currently not required by any law.

The Mint is working diligently with it's current manufacturers of coin blanks to step up the stock of coin bullion blanks, so that it can offer to the public the proof and uncirculated editions of gold, silver and platinum American Eagle coins next year. Collectors and precious metals investors alike will be eagerly awaiting any further announcements on the situation in the coming months.

James Kirkwood is is a longtime coin collector, who's interests include collecting Gold Proof Eagle Coins, and also Gold Proof Eagle Sets. These beautiful coins can make an excellent addition to an investment portfolio that includes precious metals, making a perfect compliment to traditional stocks and bonds.

In 1986, the US Mint first embarked on minting and issuing the American Eagle gold coins after being encouraged by the Saint-Gauden $20 coins from 1907 to 1933. The model of eagles, a national symbol, is one of the main grounds why this American coin is an acknowledged gold investment among the many available gold selections. This is also due to the assurance that America and the US Mint bear what makes the American Eagle coins renowned worldwide.

This gold coin comes in four denominations: 1/10, 1/4, 1/2, and 1 troy ounce. It is a 22 karat coin, crafted from 91.67% pure gold. This is the measure for every American gold coins. The 1 troy ounce coin possesses a face value of $50. The other three denominations are divided accordingly. A 1 troy ounce American Eagle gold coin can be bought for about $1000 while the 1/2 ounce for about $550. On the other hand, the 1/4 ounce is for about $275 then the 1/10 ounce for about $130.

6 Tips on How to Start Coin Collection

coin collector — Sun, 15 Nov 2009 05:31:56 +0000

Coin collecting is a fascinating hobby, but do you know where to start, what to collect and simply how to build your collection so that it will increase in value over the time? I hope tips below will help you to make right choices from the beginning.

1. Collect precious metal coins – silver and gold coins are great not only as collector items, but also as an investment. Paper money value decreases with the time, while silver and gold continue to rise.
2. Morgan silver dollars are among most popular silver coins to collect. They have huge historical value and some strikes such as Carlson City (CC Morgans) command premium prices of several hundred and thousand dollars.
3. Gold eagles are popular gold coins to collect. These coins have a long history dating back to 19 century. Modern bullion eagles are well designed and stroked in uncirculated and proof condition.
4. You may want to consider collecting worldwide coins. Canadian coins have great designs and variety of denominations. Australian coins quickly catching up on world market and offer state of the art fascinating designs. Chinese silver and gold coins also very popular and have great resell value.
5. Low mintage coins are in huge demand among coin collectors, and increasing in price faster than may any other coins in your collection.
6. Make sure to collect graded and certified coins. Far too often, I see eBay auction advertising extra fine coin. For newbie collector, it may sound great, but in reality “extra fine coin” condition is not what you are after. Look for BU and MS-grade coins, if available.

I hope these tips help you to decide how to build your coin collection. For more coin collections post, please visit Coin Collections home page.

2004 Liberia Hyacinth Macaw with Diamond Eyes – Silver Proof Coin

coin collector — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 00:47:02 +0000

This Silver Proof Coin depicts a gold plated Hyacinth Macaw with diamond eyes. Low mintage of 5000 coins only, finish - proof.

Native to central and eastern South America, the Hyacinth Macaw (Anodorhynchus hyacinthinus), or Hyacinthine Macaw, is the largest macaw and the largest flying parrot species in the world, though the flightless Kakapo of New Zealand can outweigh it at up to 3.5 kg.

In terms of length it is larger than any other species of parrot. While generally easily recognized, it can be confused with the far rarer Lear's Macaw. Their popularity as pets has taken a heavy toll on their population in the wild. Birds in captivity fetch a price of around $9,000-$12,000 US.

Gold Coin Collecting Supplies: Keeping Your Collection Pristine

coin collector — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 23:33:50 +0000

Your gold coin collection is one of your favorite things to display and show off, not to mention an investment. Because of the pride factor and the investment factor, it’s important to keep your collection in perfect condition. That’s part of collecting valuable objects. If you are a new gold coin collector and unsure about what you need to keep your collection in top-notch shape, here are the supplies you’ll need:

•    Gold coin cleaner – Now before you go out and purchase something that calls itself coin cleaner, remember gold can very easily be damaged. Abrasives, harsh chemical and lots of rubbing will damage your gold coins. If you must, clean them in warm soapy water and pat dry with a gentle cloth – that’s your gold coin cleaner.
•    Latex gloves – your body oils can damage gold coins. It’s best not to touch them without gloves
•    Airtight display containers or cases – Airtight containers will protect your gold coins from outside pollutants and come in ring frames, boxes and albums.
•    Coin envelopes and cardboard or Mylar holders, if you are not using air tight containers. Make sure they are acid-free.

The key with keeping your gold coins in perfect condition is to protect them at all costs. Protect them from light, heat, air and your own hands. If you do this, your gold coin collection will stay pristine for years to come.

Buying, Selling and Collecting Gold Coins and Investing in Gold

coin collector — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 03:49:08 +0000

Gold has historically been a treasured and enduring commodity. It has been lusted after and collected, seized by tyrants and pirates and the like for centuries. It's color and beauty are unequaled. It has forever been admired, molded, minted and worn as a symbol of wealth, stature.

Gold itself, has carried with it throughout history a romantic lure and reverence that goes along with it's monetary value. It's value by weight is a measure of the real wealth and stability of national currencies worldwide. Almost every country's paper money has been devalued over time and many have become completely worthless, except for precious metals such as silver and gold.

The unique and amazing precious metal cannot be created by man, nor can it be destroyed or altered in any way. It has remained one of the most valuable liquid investments with no geographical boundaries. Gold can be bought, sold, traded and stored in many different parts of the world. Naturally, gold coins from almost any country are also bought and sold frequently and are a good investment for many. Gold is still the foundation of the current monetary system and one of the most stable forms of currency or wealth.

At one point in time in the US, prior to and up until 1933, all paper bills minted were backed in full by gold reserves. Today, our paper currencies are backed by nothing more than a mere promise of their value by the government.

But gold coins are always going to retain their value and possibly increase over time, depending on the rarity and age of the particular coins and the number of coins made of a particular issue.

Another popular aspect of gold coin collecting is the Mexican Peso. When it comes to Mexican coin collecting, of particular importance is one's ability to identify Mexican peso gold coins. This will ensure he is actually getting genuine coins to add to his growing coin collection.

The Mexican peso coins were first introduced in the 1920s and were originally made to celebrate the independence of Mexico. One of the first coins made was a Centenario. The coins were about 90% gold with 10% copper to make the coin more durable and long lasting.

If you are starting out as a coin collector, the Mexican gold peso is a good place to start and they are still among the most popular gold coins to collect along with other gold coins including the American eagle gold coins. The Mexican peso had a figure of a winged goddess of victory holding a laurel wreath and with the other hand, she held chains. The feminine figure stood in front of two volcanoes, which were the Iztacchautl and Popcatepetl, both of which are volcanoes located in Mexico.

Other than the most popular Mexican 50 Peso coins, many collectors also enjoy collecting the smaller denomination coins including the 20 Peso gold coin, the 5 Peso coin and both the 2.5 and the 2 Peso gold coins as well.

Tips for Buying Carson City Morgan Dollars

coin collector — Tue, 20 Oct 2009 06:26:17 +0000

The historical and romantic Carson City Morgan silver dollar is also lovely to look at and a pleasure to hold. If you’re searching for one of these unique coins for your collection – or simply because you love it – there are some facts you should know to avoid falling victim to a fake.

Carson City, Nevada – a true Wild West town -- utilized the silver strike of 1859 to mint CC Morgan dollars. Like other Morgan dollars, the CC Morgans display the face of Liberty on the front and an eagle on its reverse side. Also on the reverse side is the double C (Carson City) mark which sets it apart from other Morgan dollars.

Be sure to consider the following tips before you purchase a CC Morgan silver dollar:

Carson City Morgans should be evaluated carefully before purchasing to be sure it isn’t a fake.

Purchase CC Morgans from a reputable dealer. Some online coin auctions are trustworthy, but be sure you do your homework before you buy.

Take into account the CC Morgan’s condition before you purchase it. Even though the coin may be listed as rare, its condition may reduce the value.

Find out how many CC Morgans of the type you’re considering are uncirculated. Sometimes an uncirculated grading doesn’t warrant an increased price.

During some years millions of CC Morgans were minted, while in other years only a few hundred thousand were minted – making some rarer than others.

CC Morgan silver dollars are considered among the most collectible of coins and adding them to your collection should be considered a privilege.

How to Start a Coin Collection

coin collector — Tue, 22 Sep 2009 00:28:29 +0000

Coin Collecting is affectionately known as the 'Hobby of Kings' in reference to the fact that in ancient times only Kings could afford to collect coins as lay people spent every penny they had to survive.

Coin collecting or numismatics is an extremely popular hobby which is now affordable to everybody. You can delve into the wonderful world of coin collecting as you read these words by simply reaching in your pocket and finding loose change. So what are the key steps necessary to begin a coin collection?

Step 1: Decide What You Want To Collect

You need to decide what type of collection you want to build. There are many different types of coin collection themes. These include;

Country Collections

- Some collectors obtain a sample from every country while others focus on 1 country

Year Collections

- Many collectors collect by year e.g. one Lincoln cent for every year from 1909 to present

Mintmark Collections

- Different mint marks can provide adequate differentiation to collect multiple samples for each year

Type Collections

- A collection may include major design variants for a period of time in a particular country

Subject Collections

- Many collectors collect coins that depicts an area of personal interest e.g. planes, ships etc. Other collection categories include; period collections, composition collections, signature collection, series collections, printed value collections, volume collections and more.

Step 2: Educate Yourself on Your Selection

It is very important to educate yourself sufficiently. Join your local numismatic club, contact your local coin dealer and ask them for good sources from which you can learn about the hobby. This information is important in order to understand what you need to consider when buying a coin, and how to value a coin. An excellent resource is the 'American Numismatic Association'. This association will provide information on dealers and entities that promote coin collecting. Visit your local library or Amazon.com and get books pertaining to Numismatics.

Step 3: Complete a Set

Complete a set. Collect one of each year and mint mark of your coin of choice. (A mint mark tells you where the coin was made.)

Step 4: Subscribe to Coin Publication

Subscribe to coin publications such as "Coin World" or "Coinage Magazine." These publications will keep you up to date on developments and ensure you make more informed decisions.

Step 5: Get a Collectors Display Album

Pick up a collector's display album or folder to proudly show off your new found hobby. Other useful coin collecting materials include; coin capsules, coin magnifiers, coin envelopes, coin scales, coin carrying cases and coin trays.

We’ve uncovered a small hoard of these golden beauties and we’re making them available while our supply lasts.

The history of this coin is unique. Because of the vast quantities of gold coming out of the mines in California, two new denominations were authorized by Congress to be struck in gold; the $1 and mammoth $20. Prior to this, only the $2.50, $5.00 and $10.00 denominations were struck in gold. Congress passed the bill in 1849 and by 1850, the new coins, designed by Chief Engraver James B. Longacre, hit circulation. Longacre used a similar design for both the one dollar and $20 coins: A handsome woman’s head with a classic Greco-Roman nose. It’s believed Longacre even used his daughter as the model! She is wearing a pearl-bordered coronet inscribed with the word “LIBERTY.” The reverse of the coin is based on the Great Seal of the United States. It depicts a spread Eagle with a shield on its breast, 13 stars in an oval with rays above.
