Perhaps one of the most popular of commemorations happening right now in the numismatic hobby is that of the 1969 moon landing. With the three man crew of Apollo 11 (including most famously Neil Armstrong and Edwin “Buzz” E. Aldrin, Jr.) making their literal prints on the moon, the space race was commanded and finished with success as the United States was and still is the only country to have done such remarkable things within science and engineering. But perhaps also worth mentioning is the aforementioned space race being started by that of President John F. Kennedy in 1961.
As important as Kennedy is within our nation’s history as well as within the numismatic business, he himself has been commemorated on numerous...read more

Legacy. Family. Tradition. SilverTowne. David Hendrickson has contributed to it all.
With over half a century experience in the coin business, David has decided to settle down and spend his time away from the business while leaving SilverTowne in good hands with his sister Tanda and six nephews. After finally deciding to retire from the family business, David spent his last day wandering the halls, chatting with employees, and cleaning out his office on January, 21, 2019.
“It’s time to step aside for my sister Tanda and her three boys to preserve the livelihood and future of the family business,” he said. “She has asked me to continue...read more
Congratulations. You have never heard this word more in the coin hobby than you have in the past few years.
While the hobby has seen it’s fair share of attributions when it comes to certified coins, this attribution has only been relevant since 2017 due to the Mint’s desire to “shake things up” during their 225th anniversary year. They released two sets that would change the way we collected proof American Silver Eagles from then on: the Congratulations Set and the Limited Edition Silver Proof Set.
Since its inception in 2013, Congratulations Sets from the United States Mint...read more
