The U.S. Mint's 2008 American Bald Eagle coins are proving to be popular with coin collectors. Especially the $5 gold and $1 silver versions, with nearly 70% of their max mintage already sold.

All three legal tender coins (gold, silver & clad) celebrate the successful recovery and restoration of the Bald Eagle to America's skies and the upcoming 35th Anniversary of the Endangered Species Act on December 28.

The popularity of the coins couldn't make the American Eagle Foundation (AEF) happier since the not-for-profit organization receives a portion of each coin sale — $35 per gold piece, $10 per silver coin, and $3 for each clad.

AEF is dedicated to protecting the majestic Bald Eagle, the USA's National Symbol, and its habitat by supporting and conducting eagle and environmental recovery and education programs.

The British Royal Mint has announced the sale of individual proof £1 gold, silver and Piedfort silver coins featuring Welsh graphic designer Matthew Dent's rendition of the heraldic shield of the Royal Arms — only the third coin reverse version since 1983.

The coins have an extremely low mintage with the 22 carat gold piece limited to just 1,000 and each .925 sterling silver coin set to only 5,000.

Collectors may purchase the gold, silver and Piedfort silver proof coins for £425, £49.95 and £29.95, respectively. (See International Currency Converter.)

The Piedfort £1 is unique in that it's twice the weight and double the thickness of its circulating counterpart. While it has the same 22.5 mm diameter as the non Piedfort silver proof, its weight is doubled at 19 grams.

The United States Mint on Wednesday introduced newly designed 2009 Presidential $1 coins and released detailed artist images of the dollars. The American public will see 2009 circulating coins honoring Presidents William Henry Harrison, John Tyler, James K. Polk and Zachary Taylor. Most interestingly, different design elements have been implemented compared to the initial series of 2007 and 2008 coins.

Notable in the new designs is the placement of "In God We Trust," which in past years has been on the edge of each Presidential dollar. A public outcry occurred when the U.S. Mint inadvertently issued a small subset of 2007 dollars that did not have the inscription because of minting errors. Also, while many thought edge letterings on coins would be a fresh approach, fewer liked "In God We Trust" there after seeing the new dollars. They felt the inscription lacked prominence, and needed to be moved.
