Interesting that HSN and Mike “Sold Out, Limited Edition” Mezack have yet to put the new Mark Twain coins on air.

$5 gold eagles are 1/10th oz. The $5 commemorative is just under 1/4 oz of gold.

Why does this commemorative sell for over $300 while the five dollar gold eagle is well under &200? They are both five dollars and the same amount of gold.

Not for commemoratives. Congress has been mandating that number by law for years. The unpopular commemoratives have been selling only 20k-30k but the popular commemoratives have doubled that range, but still nothing near the 100k for the most part. The good thing is that they can only sell the coins in the year they were intended so they don’t languish in the Mint’s overstock for years like other mint products have done.

Just more evidence that having bureaucrats sit in for a real director of the Mint is a big mistake.

Another date for the silver Twains? Are they getting so cheep to charge S&H twice for the same commemorative? Just squeezing every little penny out of the collector that they can.

And from what I’ve read the Mint could not even take one representative coin each of the Mark Twain commemorative to display at the FUN … instead they carry along the still not sold out HR Liberty golds to sell at the show … talk about warped priorities . one would think they would display the Mark Twain too but nooo maybe the Mark Twain coins were too heavy for them to carry …..

Mike

I don’t recall ever the Mint having two launch dates for one commemorative ….. what a bunch of incompetents …

That’s the Mint’s “planning” for you … and I take their “excuse” with a large truckload of salt …. time for the auditors from the Treasury’s oversight office or what ever it is called to take a close look at the Mint’s operations going back a few years …
