The month of August has been a doozy. Release after release from the United States Mint has been a sellout with some of the biggest coins of the year to come from it. While they are not showing signs of slowing down, this next release rounding out the month will surely put some at ease as far as availability is concerned. Scheduled for 12 pm EST today, the third American Innovation $1 coin for 2021 will be available for purchase.

The eleventh coin in the multi-years series that started with an introductory coin in 2018 and has released four coins a year since will be featured in 25-coin rolls and 100-coin bags from both the Philadelphia and Denver Mints. The aim of the program is to honor...read more

It was not that long ago that we were all consumed with a designer set from the United States Mint featuring two tenth-ounce American Gold Eagles. One of the coins depicted the Type 1 design while the other featured the Type 2. While there is not another one on the production schedule for this year featuring more gold, the next designer set from the Mint will feature two American Silver Eagles.

Originally scheduled for release today, the 2021 American Eagle One-Ounce Silver Reverse Proof Two-Coin Set Designer Edition has now been pushed back to September 13th. The set will feature one each of the 2021 Reverse Proof American Silver Eagle with the Heraldic Eagle reverse design from West Point and an Eagle Landing...read more

For the past few years, the United States Mint American Liberty Gold Coin Program has seen gold coins featuring modern interpretations of what American Liberty means beyond the traditional portrait of Liberty herself. These interpretations have featured different female figures but the coin to be released today will take a different approach to the meaning of American Liberty. Beginning at 12pm EST, the 2021 High Relief Gold Coin will be available for purchase with perhaps one of the most modern nods to history the Mint has ever produced as far as designs go.

Struck in .9999 fine 24-karat gold, this 2021-dated one-ounce gold coin features a wild American Mustang horse on the obverse as it’s bucking off a saddle. Featured...read more

The city of Boston, Massachusetts, has a number of famous people attached to it. While you would be correct in rattling off certain actors and celebrities, we are thinking more historically. Benjamin Franklin, Sylvia Plath, Samuel Adams, Edgar Allan Poe, and more. However, one of the most famous to come from the birthplace of the American Revolution is Paul Revere. The midnight rider himself would bring value to anything, especially when it comes to numismatics. That is exactly the case in our next entry in the 100 Greatest American Currency Notes blog series. As authors Q. David Bowers and David M. Sundman help us navigate this Whitman Publishing publication, we take a closer look at a note from the same time period as Revere that has long since been a collector...read more

The United States Mint production has been a roller coaster from the get-go this year. Between products in general and the postponement of certain items, it is safe to say that we are more at the mercy of the Mint than ever before. However, while that statement seems a bit pointed, we also have to admit that what they have done as far as design and output has been next level. More specifically speaking to this year, the new designs of the American Eagle Gold and Silver Program. Which brings us to mention the next release in the American Silver Eagle Program: the 2021 American Eagle One-Ounce Silver Proof Coin from San Francisco.

Slated for release today beginning at 12pm EST, the coin will feature...read more
