It appears the Mint is trying a price and product creep by increasing the price by a dollar and doubling the availability to a 90,000 run. Maybe, 2016 will be 16.95 and a 140,000 coin run. And it will BOMB OUT. Mint must be having budget problems, or someone is jockeying for a promotion.

Not sure if they can legally make a gold coin, as the Mint had trouble with Congress when some were made for the astronauts to carry into space (see the Wikipedia article on the Sacagawea dollar). Interesting idea, though. Of course then somebody will gold plate brass ones for novelty and sooner or later somebody else will try to pass one off as genuine (shades of the 1883 No Cents nickel).

I think mint should make lottery coin. Instead of the zinc/brass dollar coin, make it with real gold dollar coin. Maybe insert 1 piece per 2000!
How did you guys think?

The US Mint is making a mistake increasing mintage; platinum eagle line…need I say more? Learn from history or be doomed to repeat it. The Kennedy coin stuff from last year is another good example and the Jackie stuff from this year is even better example…no sellouts aka no value aka no reason to buy any of them.

Is Coin News certain about the 90K mintage limit? This was not included in the official statement to the press sent yesterday and has not been reported by other sources. Is this something the Mint told you?

So next year ends the reverse of the 2009 – 2016 Native American coins, celebrating the important contributions made by Native American tribes and individual Native Americans. So does anybody know what the mint is going to do in 2017.

Tinto –
And all fairly new so not too difficult to obtain to start collecting the set.
