The United States Mint 2008 New Mexico Official First Day Covers went on sale Thursday, May 8. The coin cover is 47th in the series released.
The limited edition covers include two New Mexico state quarters that were minted on the first day of production.

The United States Mint 2008 Oklahoma Official First Day Covers went on sale Wednesday, February 27. These limited edition covers include two Oklahoma state quarters with the “Scissortail Flycatcher” design that were minted on the first day of production. One quarter is from the Mint’s Denver facility while the other is from its Philadelphia location.
Platinum hit a record high as strong industrial demand and supply fears drove investors to buy.
Spot platinum made it to $1,519 an ounce, breaking the $1,500 barrier for the first time on Monday.
It then pulled back slightly for the night, yet was still sitting at $1507 an ounce at 2:20 p.m. (ET on Tuesday).
Coin collectors have been awaiting for the expected announcement and it’s here.
It’s the 10th anniversary for the American Eagle Platinum coins and to celebrate, the U.S. Mint has changed it up with a limited edition, two-coin set that’s just for collectors.
Included in the set is one proof coin and, for the first time ever, one enhanced reverse proof platinum coin. Each contains one-half ounce of .9995 platinum.
Get your money ready, because the sets go on sale through the U.S. Mint website beginning December 13, 2007, at 12 noon (ET).
Before you get too excited, realize we’re talking about coins with platinum - that non too cheap metal. Otherwise, the price of this special set may take you for a bit of a spin. Hold on…
