Title: 2009 Silver Proof Set
Post by: CoinCrusader42 on July 30, 2009, 05:59:58 AM: I don't get to keep them, however two 2009 Silver Proof Sets arrived in the mail today. They are both birthday gifts for family members.

The coins looked to be absolutely perfect. Congratulations to the mint for a great job on these coins and their holders.

The 1974 Belize proof set...1c, 5c, 10c, 25c, 50c, $1, $5, & $10 are ALL STERLING silver coins containing 3.08 ASW. Now why doesn't the U S mint make something like that? I guess that they are stuck on the old designs.....

In 2007 they made a 5 euro goldcoin 1/20 of an ounce and with the same lettering and the same design but another reduction and another mould
they made a half ounce goldcoin eliminating all design costs . The half ounce they sold at 500 pieces only and the usual huge markup .
I had to do the research cause ebay is offering 5 euro half ounce goldcoins which I thought did not exist .
