  • I will have to buy one of each to keep my set registry up to date.
    Probably buy multiples of each.
    They look pretty neat!
    I like 'em!

    Overproduced Franklin Mint-looking stuff has no attraction for this pack-rat.

    After reading the above posts, can anyone understand the NUMISMATIST'S ADDICTION, yet ?

    What a crappy dilemma. image

    One silver and one gold, uncirculateds.

    Note that with the high maximum mintages, you don't see anyone planning to order as many as they can... image

    I'll probably order one each of the silver.

    I will buy one of each, perhaps two of each. I like them for the fun
    of it and sometimes I get to sell one.

    As modern commems go, they're not so bad (IMHO).

    I like the silver showing the 3 ships(Susan Constant, Godspeed and Discovery) on the reverse.

    Bummer that it got "scooped" by the Virginia quarter.

    For theme collectors, you got two popular ones: ships on coins, and Native Americans on coins.
  • Probably will buy only 2 of each... to give to(pass on to) my 2 sons.
    I'm tapped out and then some on all the anniversary stuff and fractionalsimage
  • 53BKid53BKid Posts: 2,175 ✭✭✭
    As I collect them, I'll buy 'em, but I'm not too excited.
    HAPPY COLLECTING!!!

    I like the design of the dollar so I will probably get one even though it's sure to be a dud in the long run.

    Thought I would bring this thread back to the forefront, as it was a most fun one for me.

    For those of you who have not read or responded to this thread, please review the following from the first post:


    Will anyone be purchasing this new commemorative??

    Proof or Unc??

    Silver or Gold??


    Thanks in advance.

  • $5 gold commem uncirculated.........if possible.
  • claychaserclaychaser Posts: 4,406 ✭✭✭✭
    I see these designs as uninspiring. The mint gave us some cool designs in 2006 - in my opinion:

    The 2006 Platinums - I like this design!
    The Franklin snake and fugio reverses for the coolness factors
    The $5 gold reverse for the Longacre fans

    But the Jamestown coins just don't do it for me.

    But, if the sales don't pan out to the 100,000 and 500,000 coin limits, it may be possible to make a buck or two by ordering a 100 coins, picking out the 70's, and flipping the rest. But if the entire run is produced and sold, I don't see a fan potential like the above coins or the Marine Dollars. But for now, I'm keeping the powder dry (i.e. credit card limits) dry and waiting for the 2007 platinums.

    I don't plan to purchase the Jamestown commemoratives; I need to be selective given the number of products being released this year.

    Ditto, since I'm not a collector of modern commems nor an investor in modern mint products. The last ones I felt I needed were Dolly Madison and Leif Ericson.

  • Will be getting a proof and uncirculated of the dollar. The gold will be too expensive, even though I want one. I still want one of the 2006 ones.

  • Dumb question but, are these 1oz?
  • moonshinemoonshine Posts: 1,039 ✭✭
    I will probably be getting one of the uncirc., only because it has a ship.




  • << <i>I keep reminding myself to find out what they look like,,,, and I haven't found it yetimage >>



    You havent missed anything, just another un-artistic coinimage
  • Yes

    1 Unc and 1 Proof (Silver)


  • flaminioflaminio Posts: 5,664 ✭✭✭


    << <i>Dumb question but, are these 1oz? >>

    No. Commemoratives have the same weight and composition as their historical counterparts. So, a commemorative silver dollar has the same weight as an old silver dollar, and a commemorative $5 has the same weight as the old five dollar gold coins.

    So, what does that mean to us modern crap collectors?

    I was hoping it would provide an answer but after reading thru it i found no stated weights for either version image

    The order / info page doesn't list anything either.

    flamino had stated

    << <i>Commemoratives have the same weight and composition as their historical counterparts. >>

    ,.... but i was hoping to find something to corroborate that.

    True, but imagine had St. Gaudens or Fraser made a 300th anniversary commemorative in 1907.

    There's no reason to believe that these commems will be any different from every other commem (save the $10 LOC) that has been released since 1982.

    Silver Dollar: 26.73 grams, 38.1 mm diameter, 90% Silver, 10% Copper (.900 fine), net 0.77344 ounces pure silver

    Half Eagle: 8.359 grams, 21.6 mm diameter, 90% Gold, 10% Copper (.900 fine), net 0.24187 ounces pure gold

    I think everyone will come to that assumption, and more than likely it's still valid, but i found it a little odd that Commem's like the Wright Brothers First Flight had composition numbers but the Jamestown did not.

    The Wright Bros was rather a special case because it was a $10 coin, rather than the usual $5.
  • GoldbullyGoldbully Posts: 17,927 ✭✭✭✭✭
    Is there any benefit to buying these commemoratives in the first hour, other than you save a couple dollars??

    I know I'll be buying a few silver Uncs......I like the design.

    Frankly, I disagree with the people who say the designs are ho-hum. I particularly like all of the extra detail and think these are some of the best designs to date.

    I will be buying all four, I started my commemorative collection last year with 2006 and will collect going forward, not backward so these will be a welcome addition.
