    What is the 5 Star General Profile collection. I am aware of the three 5 Star General set that was issued earlier this year, and already have one. What is the profile set?

    Have no idea and as you have probably already notice they don't even show a estimated price and nothing on the site about it I can find.

    There were rumors months ago based on a Mint press release about an "Eisenhower half dollar" but I never heard anything else about it.

    Currently, Eisenhower is only on the dollar of the 5-star generals coins.

    We have already had the the Eisenhower made for circulation dollar and the 1990 commemorative silver dollar. I do admire him, but I think that he has appeared on enough coins at least for the time being.

    This is all I have so far:

     SUMMARY: The United States Mint is announcing a price of $74.95 for the 2013 5-Star Generals
    Profile Collection.

    For $74.95 I don't think it's gonna be a Unc $1 and Unc half dollar. (Those would cost just under $78 individually)

    Could we see an Eisenhower half dollar? Is that even possible? I mean, there has to be a bill authorizing that...

    My guess? A Unc Silver $ in a special case with a blurb about each general.

    The new 5-Star Generals Profiles Collection set will contain Uncirculated versions of the silver dollar and copper-nickel clad half dollar from the program, plus a bronze version of the congressional gold medal depicting Gen. Douglas MacArthur.

    Thanks for the info, OPA..

    Darn, I was hoping for a new key with the UNC half dollar this year. Sales are half of what the current 2011 Army clad Unc coin were at this time in 2011.
