It’s obvious the mint has no marketing strategy and having no permanent director only compounds the problem. The deputy director seat warmers are only good for keeping status quo which for the mint seems to mean chaos these days.
Again for the same reason my contention has always been that coins of a year should only be sold in that year. The mint can plan ahead (!!!) and provide coins for a year no later than September to follow that rule and at the same time provide a full year schedule (again !!!) to get back on track. Organization and a long term director with decision making authority can make that happen.

The sense I am getting from a number of the comments is that the Mint has too many products without a mintage limit, which usually means no real price appreciation in the future. And, the few that are limited mintages sell out too fast & not everyone has the chance to buy one. Plus, the Mint has like 250 products available now which is ridiculous. They need to trim the offerings a bit. They are still selling products from 2007! It is crazy.

Is the silver medal still worth the price of the silver content?

I would but the 1/10 size due to the 1 ounce being more than I can afford . It’s a beautiful coin . Would love to own one

Jim have to agree, the new bells & whistles stuff from mint does little for me @ all, I have aged out on stuff & also the sell outs glitches etc., have made me immune form the ‘gotta git it’ attitude of the past. I have not even bought the gold W/L 1/2…..before I would have a few, but I see on eBay they are under the mint price often….so I will wait……

I would purchase the smaller version. I would like the mint to start making the smaller buffalos again. Wouldn’t it be cool if the mint for their anniversary made a set of silver eagles from each mint including new Orleans, dahlanega, and charlotte.

Seth Riesling –
Thanks for the clarification. However, starting with the American Liberty medal I decided to stay away from the series, silver or gold. One set you won’t find in my collection. And you know what? I don’t miss it (them) a bit.
As I’m getting older and long past run out of space to store these things I’m finding limiting my collection by sticking to the old and true isn’t such a bad idea either.

RODNEY MOORE –
I’ll harp on it once again. If the mint were to produce a comprehensive schedule that covered the whole year instead of one month (at most) ahead many collectors would know what’s coming and when and have an opportunity to plan ahead and save for what they want to get regardless of the metal content or the premium the mint sees fit to impose.

A 1/10 oz coin would be a little less hideous than the hideous, PC-obverse of the 1 oz coin, but still hideous nonetheless.

the 5 different medals will cost approximately $300.00 plus shipping. at today’s silver price you can purchase from the secondary market coins dealers 16 silver eagles which would be 16 ounces of silver (and they are real coins, not medals) for the same $300.00. purchase the medals if you like their looks. however, if you are looking for an investment purchase american silver eagles.
