Your U S Mint Shopping List for '05?

mhammerman · February 7, 2005 10:16PM

Let's see what we are buying this year...For me, the following:

Bison Nickel 2 Roll Set
Proof Set
Silver Proof Set
SAE Sil. Proof
Bison Ocean in View 2 Roll Set

I'm kinda getting to be a fan of the new issues from the mint, particularly the nickel series. I buy dupes of proof set and the new nickel rolls for gifts during the year and they are a big hit. You could spend a lot more money and get a lot less enthusiasm from the receipients.

What are you going to buy?

Probably my standard purchase:

mint set, proof set, quarters set, and silver proof sets

TerrapinWill · February 7, 2005 10:30PM

All Four Nickel Rolls
Proof Set
Sivler Proof Set
Mint Set

Bought Cali Rolls.....biggest state....figured why not.....maybe the go up a few bucks and I can use extra to buy what I really like.

I am usually not a fan of US Mint products but I want to get the 2005 nickels. The designs are fantastic. Some Sacs may be in my future as well.

Just the silver proof set. Other than that, I can't really get into the modern stuff. Much too young.

The usual: Two clad proof sets, two mint sets, one silver proof set, and a proof Silver American Eagle.

Since my two favorite states, California and Oregon are represented on state quarters this year, and since I like the nickel designs, I'm also looking to purchase some rolls or first day covers.

I'm not quite sure yet. If the card table continues to treat me as nicely as it has thus far this year, I may pick up a half-ounce platinum proof coin. I do need to get myself the Roosevelt P, D, Proof, and Silver Proof issues this year.

well lesse - I got some of the WJ nickel/medal sets/sold all but one.
Got my P/D Sac rolls in today. Waiting for a bag of WI qrtrs. which is lost in OK for 10 days. Also will get all WJ and Bison, WWV, Uncirc. and both silver sets, WJ coin set, and probably some Marine Corps, maybe some Calis, and maybe the quarter silver proofs.

Why the avoidance of U.S. Mint products?

Prethen · February 8, 2005 1:51AM

Over-priced & Over-hyped

...compared to the older stuff...Over-minted

and, did I say, OVER-PRICED?

I buy the same every year. About 10 uncirc and ten proof sets to give for Christmas Presents. I'm trying to build interest in coin collecting to friends and relatives so when they inherit mine they won't take it to a bank for just change.
