I'm thrown off a bit by the US Mint's Email to me today...

"United States Mint Director Henrietta Holsman Fore is proud to announce that, for the first time, the United States Mint is offering collectors a five-coin set featuring only the 2004-dated commemorative quarter-dollar coins in lustrous coin silver (90 percent silver), on sale starting today." ($23.95 plus S/H)

 

I could have sworn I get these every year when I order the silver proof set for the year. I checked and yes, I DO! So, I guess the key word, which I bolded, is "only" the quarters are now being offered in a set for those wishing that.

 

I almost rushed to place my order when I realized I will get the same thing when my subscription Silver Proof Set for 2004 becomes available. Thx, but no thx.

I like this option, because if I want just to get the quarters graded, now I can just buy the quarters only...

Knowing the mint, the key word is '2004' as in this is the first time they are hawking 2004 dated overpriced junk.

Hey, Greg...you think they are dummies? Er...don't answer that! I already know your answer and more or less agree with you. But they do have a talent for selling their "junk" if packaged and promoted to the uninformed like tj is, er WAS! It just took them 5 years to realize the potential!

And thank you for the "package", SIR Greg! Arrived today. I owe you one!

I think that the head of the Mint should be clearer in her offering. Like, OK, You get the Proof Quarters every year in you proof collection but for those of you just wanting the proof quarters, here ya go.

 

I think this woman is there as a disgrace to coinage. Thanks to Bush.
