    Mintage limits will be the deciding factor

    At least for a little while.

    I decided to change calling the bathroom the John and renamed it the Jim. I feel so much better saying I went to the Jim this morning.



    The name is LEE!

    Just left the US Mint gift shop in Philadelphia. They had tons of the 225th medal. I got 2.

    I bought 5 and then, with much delight, woke up.

    Yes it was. A beauty. The drawing on the mint page doesn't do it justice. Deep mirrored field, frosted bust, mirror stars. Quick shots with my phone.

    It's really looking ugly. (The sales, not the coin.)

    I hope this is due to returns. I'd like at least 50K sold so these are at a more reasonable price in a couple of years.

    Hey!

    For those going to the ANA, when you stop by the US Mint's booth to see the '74D aluminum cent and the 1933 Saint-Gaudens double eagles, take a gander at the 4-medal American Liberty set they're supposed to have there. I'm interested to know how the finishes look and if the medals are all identical...

    Anyway, at this rate they'll reach 50K for the stand alone in about 20 weeks, still doable within this calendar year.

    (50K is the number I think will be sufficient to bring the price down in a couple of years. Yes, I'm still railing about the price...)

    Glad I purchased this medal, might even get another before the year is over...

    This medal is now listed as sold out. Final mintage, at least as of last week was 55193.

    Don't quote me on that.
