I love emails from the mint

So, today I got my email from the Mint letting me know it was "Last chance for Bald Eagle Comemms" and it reminded me how much I do love that coin....well, coins.

I own the Proof version and the uncirc, and I'll never forget the day I got them in the mail and immediately nick-named them "skinny chickens" as the Great Seal of the United States...did not really look so "great" at first...the bald eagle in the seal (to me anyway) looked like a "skinny chicken".

I love those coins, though...not so much the 50 cent clad piece...just because it tries too hard to be cute.

I also love this particular comemm because it was my 1st foray into collecting comemms, and I can't wait to submit these to NGC early next year when I re-new my membership.

I don't really know if I will collect any more comemms, though. I am not really passionate about the comemms as I am the Silver Eagles...those coins really excite me and always hold my interest. Maybe if the prices stay low enough, I might even get that "monster box" I have been dreaming of.

I hope all of your collecting dreams come true, as they are coming true for me as well.

Have a great night!!
