    Advice? Buy them if you like them. My opinion? They're awful.

    Why are they only doing 25 presidents? Why not all of them? Who did Millard Fillmore piss off to not get a medallion?

    I think it's stupid to do a set of only 25 presidents. I could see doing five, or perhaps 10; but if you're going to do 25 you might as well do them all.

    And $139 each for these is a complete rip-off. They look like they have about ten bucks worth of silver in them, and about ten cents worth of gold. The National Collector's Mint (ack! ptuii!) sells crap like this all day for $19.95 -- about what I would expect for a retail price for these things.

    Pass.

    I think those stamp ingots would be cool if they were 999 fine gold or silver but the plating this is lame.
  • If you were thinking of doing something like this, then try this...

    US Mint

    You'll come out cheaper and (in my opinion) with a better product. Also remember that with these third party products approved by the Mint, everyone between gets a cut of the money. That's why each month's release is so high.

    And if you are thinking about buying the Mint's Presidential Medal Set, try this....

    Buy the album for $35 separate from all of the medals and the total cost is only about $185image
