2015 US Marshals Service Coins Graded by NGC
To be release early next year.
100,000 $5 gold coins; 500,000 silver dollars; and 750,000 clad half-dollars
Finish-Price (intro/regular):
Clad Unc $13.95/$17.95
Clad Proof $14.95/$18.95
Silver Unc $43.95/$48.95
Silver Proof $$46.95/$51.95
Gold will probably be priced on the London fix as usual.
Interesting that 2015 coins were released in 2014. Apparently the law allows it for display and presentation purposes.
"Wanted in Ft. Smith" Really? Shoulda put an Earp brother on there and "Wanted in Tombstone", but that's just me.
I like the silver, the gold and clad don't float my boat. My early WAG prediction is these don't sell out. I may buy a set, but it's another raw set for the collection...

I agree with you

The half reverse looks clip-arty and confusing to me. I quite like the $5, both sides.
Now imagine the reverse fields of the dollar having the relief of the Gettysburg half obverse -- peripheral lettering up on a plateau with the marshal on a concave field. Modern commemoratives should be able to be made this way.
Also, what's a "Celebration Ceremony"? Anything like a "Festivities Party"? Was this ceremony held at the Department of Redundancy Department?

I believe a celebration ceremony is held by the person who gets the first PR70DCAM. All participants must be ANA members.

Celebration and ceremony are not synonymous.
A funeral is a ceremony, but I wouldn't consider it a celebration.

I'm saving my money for 2016.
That's when the mint will sell the $10 gold versions of the 86th Anniversary of the Stapler commems.

138th, actually. Will they be bimetallic with an embedded palladium staple?

The half has too many props in it and the badge is oddly shaped and held in a seemingly unnatural position.
the other 2 are good. 225 years. It'd be interesting to have had an idea from the early days on one of them, perhaps the half. Too late now.
<< <i>More PC nonsense from the US Mint.. >>
way too many Mint products .. they risk suck the well dry just look at the gold kennedys
.. the Silver Kennedys are a buy ......look at the 2006 20th Ann silver Eagle set as a guide
<< <i>The Mint is really running dry of good ideas. >>
The Mint?
These were required by a Law and then kicked around by the CFA and the (ugh) CCAC.
Sure, a simpler design would have been sufficient but whenever ANYTHING is "designed by committee", it's always going to come out screwed up.
The name is LEE!
<< <i>I like the dollar's obverse, but one question: Who was wanted in Ft. Smith? >>
Ft Smith, Arkansas
another way to part suckers with their money
Always expect the unexpected to happen, as it will anyway no matter what you do
Mintage numbers are crazy high
Not a fan.

<< <i>I like the eagle on the $5 Gold. I wonder if these will be unpopular like the generals gold and possibly an even lower mintage will be sold. Always wondering when the Jackie Robinson will be dethroned. >>
Even the Army, MOH and Star Spangled Banner are really low compared to most of the other programs. 10,000 coins sold doesn't mean much of a premium these days.

Mintage limits.
Sales are a different story

50 Cent obverse: Ugly and meaningless. Who is the woman? Why is she on the coin? Is the cowpoke holding a gun or an umbrella?
50 Cent reverse: Way too much stuff in the picture. Why a jug? Why books? Are those items on a table or is the jug floating in the air? Scale and marshal badge are out of proportion to the figure of Justice.
$1 obverse: Looks like a cheap souvenir token from a rodeo.
$1 reverse: Corny and trite. Fits with the rodeo souvenir token theme of the obverse.
$5 obverse. Boring
$5 reverse: Would be a good candidate for a generic eagle design for a circulating or bullion coin. Not memorable for a commem.

Coin design, a thankless task. Casting pearls before swine.
In actuality, each of the designs has merit, and they're rather pleasing to the eye. I might actually be buying some commems next year, for the first time in a LONG time. Just for the aesthetics.

The pics are of presentation pieces the mint made. I've no idea who has them.
They will be 2015 issues and it is too early for them to be on the mint's web site.
The other for 2015 is 75th ann of March of Dimes 500k $1
<< <i>Love the $5. Will likely pass though, limited coin funds.... >>
Skip the beer!

I will buy the March of Dimes coin. I had polio as an infant, and the March of Dimes paid for most of the cost of the surgery that allowed me to walk without a brace.

The S$1 is nicely done as well. These are the best looking commems I've seen in years.
Hoard the keys.

I'm sure I'll purchase both.
