Low Mintage Coin Show Special Editions!

This week we submit for your approval a couple of Coin Show Specials! What makes them special? Reduced mintages, unique themes, and tremendous value! If you weren't fortunate enough to be present at the recent ANDA show in Adelaide, South Australia and the ANA Show in Chicago, then allow us to fill you in on some great specials that you would otherwise have missed out on!

We also introduce a new, special edition Hockey silver proof from the Royal Canadian Mint, celebrating the triumphal return of the Winnipeg Jets to hockey-mad Canada! Don't blink or you'll miss it - we expect the rabid fans north of the border to snap this up just like 2009's Montreal Canadiens silver proof, which sold out at the Mint in an instant!

Here's the capsule summary of this week's specials:

Celebrate Australia 5-coin set

Winnipeg Jets Return to Canada - Inaugural Season $20 Silver Proof

Winnipeg Jets $20 Silver ProofThe Jets Return to Winnipeg!
After a fifteen year absence, NHL hockey will be played in the far north once again! The new Jets are members of the Southeast Division of the Eastern Conference of the National Hockey League, as they were for the 2010-11 season, when they were known as the Atlanta Thrashers. The league will most likely be realigned for the 2012–13 season, with the Jets expected to move into the Western Conference at that point. This limited mintage, pure silver proof is the ultimate numismatic souvenir of the Jets' first season back in Winnipeg!

Winnipeg Jets LogoInvestment Note
We can't recommend this one enough! With its striking, aviation-themed logo and frosted cameo proof finish, this handsome, pure silver proof certainly has eye appeal! Add it its relatively low mintage, sports theme and the fact that all hockey fans need it, and the appeal grows logarithmically. Finally, consider that the 2009 Montreal Canadiens hockey silver proof sold out at the Mint in less than a month, and you can see why we suggest this new, pure silver Winnipeg Jets commemorative as a tremendous buy-and-hold for your numismatic portfolio! Introduced at a special, below-issue price!

Retail Price $129.95 - Special Sale Price Only $89.95 Each!

Availability Note - This coin was just announced by the Mint, with delivery scheduled for November. We are currently taking, confirming and guaranteeing orders for this coin now. Thank you in advance for your patience and understanding.
