I'm having a hard time getting interested in these, though I do like Indy-like matching of the mountain to the NPS logo. I might be in for the 3-coin proof set. Maybe.
(And if you must know, I was backing up my machines and got bored, so I did this. )

Doesn't seem to be a ground swell of interest here. The designs are nice. I'm with you in that my coin budget may stay intact waiting for the gold Classic Designs release. The 3 coin Proof grouping is very tempting as I like those that have the coins all in one display holder.
Looks like the two of you are the "heart" & "soul" of U.S. Comm's on the forum lately.
I usually purchase one of each of the silver's in 70 slabs, however for some reason the
look of the silver screams NO to me. I may have to pass on this one. Will have to see if some good pictures in hand can change my mind.
Cheers, RickO

Well, I'm not sure I would have put this post together if I was actually motivated to do real work while I was backing up all my system disks yesterday.
I really do like the Twain commem, but these... I'd probably be more excited if we didn't just go through 17 years of FSQ and ATB quarters. I am a big TR fan, but am actually looking forward more to his National Park puck coming out later this year.
As Kudbegud stated, I'm more interested in the centennial gold. I'm already trying to decide if I'm going to have them graded or not. BWAHAhahahaha...
Should gold remain above $1250, then the price will be:
Commemorative Gold Uncirc: $412.60
Commemorative Gold Proof: $417.60
Commemorative 3-Piece Proof set: $478.60 (This saves you a whopping $6.90 if the coins are purchased separately. I just thought you should know. )
$5 Gold Proof = $400.45
$1 Silver Proof = $45.95
Clad Half Proof = $21.95
3 Coin Proof Set = $466.45
(A savings of a whopping $1.90 over individual purchase)
$5 Gold Unc = $395.45
$1 Silver Unc = $20.95
Clad Half Unc = $20.95
These are limited time discount prices
Really?
This is the portrayal of a bison in front of Old Faithful?
Good Lord.
Looks like a billy goat with walrus flipper attached to the right leg.
I knew it would happen.
