ACADIA IS OUT

The next America The Beautiful Quarter is being released with the shores of
Maine . It features a lighthouse from Acadia National Park and it is a great representation.
The mint is offering them at the present or soon you can purchase them from coin shows.
Please remember due to budget cutting the presentations of the coins  are no longer held at the sites.
It is unfortunate so many coins are being released now with no fanfare and the public's interest in the series is down to zero.
I for one am keeping up with the series and will continue to purchase a series of coins that will have a low mintage and low level of interest. I always have swum upstream and can only hope these coins will be a fruitful investment down the road.
It is my readers call if they follow my lead.

AN UPDATE ON PRESIDENTIAL DOLLARS

Perhaps the government is serious about saving money because the new presidential dollars for the year are out with a premium on their backs. The first two coins are now released and come with a heavy premium.
Grover Cleveland is now out in rolls from the mint or can be purchased at some coin stores.
With the releases now at very low mintages and with no fanfare they are only being collected by coin enthusiasts.
This may be an avenue down the road to make some money because if people want the entire series at some point it will be quite expensive to obtain all the coins.
As mentioned in previous posts the modern presidents we have grown up with are still going to be released and the old rules of waiting for someone to be dead for a number of years might be abolished.
These coins could be an ugly duckling series and I advise my readers to obtain a couple of rolls as a long term investment.
