New Dollar Coins Will NOT Be At The Bank

Guess what? The Mint’s new dollar coin series is only available from the Mint… or the secondary market. That’s now and until the series is scheduled to end in 2032! That also means no face-value coins for collectors.

You can only order these new dollars from the Mint. A 25-coin roll sells for $32.95 plus S&H, and $111.95 for a 100-coin bag. There is one coin design available now, from the Mint only, for $6.95 plus S&H, with 4 new designs each year through 2032.

I, for one, am not a fan of this method. I have yet to order anything directly from the Mint, and maybe with the exception of the upcoming Apollo 13 coins, don’t anticipate doing so in the future. Actually, I’m not really interested in collecting golden dollar coins of any type. But that’s just my opinion.

Here’s a thought. At each club meeting a number of silver eagles are raffled off. How about the club buy a 25-coin roll of each new design as they become available and adding that coin to our raffles? Just an idea. What do you think?
