EdG_Ohio Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 Received my , seems like daily, promotional email from the Mint and this was for the 2.5oz Coast Guard silver metal. I have to admit I kinda like it, not so much the price, as it shows the ship forging forward through the seas. It's sort of dramatic in the way its presented. "USCGC Hamilton (WMSL-753) is the fourth Legend-class cutter of the United States Coast Guard. She is the fifth cutter named after Alexander Hamilton, who was the first United States Secretary of the Treasury and in that position requested the formation of the United States Coast Guard."

It caught my eye as well and so did the price tag, just not room in the budget for it right now. I've adopted a wait and see mentality for all U.S. Mint products, wait and see how much the price drops. I wonder if they'll add a U.S. Space Force medal to the series?

I'd seriously consider it if I wasn't suppose to be chasing the 59-D 5c down and a few world coins of 59'. Perhaps another day.

A possibility, but for a medal containing approximately $59.60 worth of silver there is still a lot of wiggle room. Roughly $100.40 worth of wiggle room.
