There are a number of childhood moments, or milestones, that take place that are worth remembering to parents. When you first learn to talk and walk, your first haircut, your first tooth, the first day of school, and so on. There is one in particular that we can help celebrate without keeping the ‘remnants’ of the memory: first lost tooth.

While there are a number of big moments for us as a kid, there are also moments as parents that you get to experience for the first time while actually going through them a number of times afterward. While your child has lost their tooth and placed it under their pillow at night, it is your responsibility to call on that magical creature that comes along and keeps it in exchange...read more

To be first in or of anything is quite remarkable if you really think about it. To be the first at a place such as the United States Mint is extremely remarkable. To be the first Chief Engraver of the United States Mint, well that is something no one can ever change. That is history-making.

Continuing our blog series on the highly appointed position that is Chief Engraver of the United States Mint, we uncover the legacy that is Robert Scot.

♫ Glory to the newborn King! Peace on Earth and mercy mild, God and sinners reconciled ♫

We are going to be quite frank and to the point. Among the presents and the food and all the other frivolous things that have made Christmas exciting over the years, let us NOT FORGET one all-important thing this holiday season: Christ is THE reason for the season and we MUST take time to reflect, remember, and celebrate the fact that His birth was God’s greatest gift to mankind.

Today is the day before Thanksgiving and our hearts, along with our stomachs, are sure to be full this time tomorrow. But if we are being honest, the anticipation of the Christmas season is already in full swing as those who celebrate the holiday the day after Halloween appears to be multiplying every year. While some may find that all too soon, we find that the spirit of Christmas and the cheer that it brings to everyone this time of year is something to behold and wish it was a 365-day-a-year feeling that could be passed on from person to person...read more

The Stars and Stripes never get old to look at. No matter which way you see them, an immense amount of pride surfaces for the truest of Americans.

We happen to know how important they are here at SilverTowne and that is why we have built an American Flag silver collection that we are incredibly proud of. So when we came across an old die at our very own SilverTowne Mint a while back that handed us an opportunity to make something old new again, we took it and ran.

Brand new (and old) is the half-ounce version of the popular one-ounce and ten-ounce option that flies off our shelf all year long: American Flag...read more
