Great Coins from the United States of America.

The Mints in the United States of America don't focus as much on the having a large number of various coin sets and series like the Perth or Royal Canadian Mint. But the Mints of the United States take their time and produce wonderful coins with very meaningful themes.

Since its conception in 1986, the American Eagle Silver Proof Coins have become highly revered collectors items.

The Proof - Strike of these coins make them stand out in already elite class of American commemorative coins, being minted with special dies that strike a highly polished coin blank several times. Resulting in a mirror-like finish.

The United States 2010 $1 American Eagle 1oz Silver Proof Coin is a great addition to any collection, or a great way to share your hobby with friends with loved ones.


United States 2009 $1 Louis Braille
Bicentennial 26.75g Silver Proof Coin

The Braille system, designed by a man from France, but adapted to almost every known language system in the world today and commemorated by the U.S.A. in this wonderful Silver Proof Coin.

This coin commemorates the birth of Louis Braille, unsure of who he is? Any map, telephone, airport, atm and so many other parts of everyday life have the Braille language for the blind to read.

It is such an overlooked part of our society. Sight seems so simple, so normal. But what about the population of blind Americans? Estimated at over 11 million. Have you ever tried to go a day without sight?, an hour?, ten minutes? For those of us with sight we take our senses for granted. For those of us who are without sight, or any other sense for that matter, they are truly living. Each experience without one sense intensifies every other sense.

The United States 2009 $1 Louis Braille Bicentennial 26.75g Silver Proof Coin was made to commemorate the hard work and diligence of one individual who has left a permanent mark on this world and truly helps people every single day.
