The US Mint & Congress- strange bedfellows for sure!

You just reminded me about your & my earlier posts about the Swiss Shooting Thalers. I got an email from MCM in Sarasota, Florida that they bought a large collection of these graded by NGC that they are offering at fixed prices on their website . They are not the old ones, but as we agreed they have some very beautiful designs each year.

Happy collecting!

to continue from before

and Congress said “Okay, good idea Mint on having an edge lettering .. make it so….”

Only got the R&R C&C set and the TR pucks left for me this year and I don’t see much afterwards, except for the NA C&C sets esp. the Jim Thorpe design and then the Moon landing commemorative ..maybe buy some more silver Swiss shooting medals

Thank goodness I never got into the collector ASE’s, yeah the Mint has lost a ton of $$ on the collector ASE due to their delays (to put it kindly). Wonder if Congress, just out of the blue imposed this edge lettering on the Mint or is there something more like the Mint giving an alternative to not having a special design for the 30th Ann. version. ….

Just wait till you see the price of the special edge-lettered 30th anniversary Proof & Uncirculated Burnished finish ASE $1 coins due to the extra cost of the special collars & long test striking period that has cost the Mibt a lot of extra money for the 2016 collector versions. With silver up a lot this year & the extra production costs, I think we are looking at closer to $60 than $50. Just a guess.

I posted here a few times in the past 3 months that this would not be a record year for these $1 bullion coins IMHO. With two record years in a row in 2014 & 2015 it is unlikely to happen again. Yet, the fairly big drop in precious metals today due to the better than expected jobs reports may bring in some buyers on the dip, but not much since the marketplace is vastly oversaturated with these common bullion version coins.

Happy bullion coin investing everyone!
