Holiday Season Coins

It's that time folks. The weather has turned and that means each passing day brings us closer to the Holidays.

The Holidays make a great time to gift your young ones and family. While toys and the latest greatest gadgets are probably high on the "Wish List" of your loved ones. Why not offer something that will uphold its value and appreciate with time.

Precious metals and commemorative coins in particular are a great gift for young ones because it teaches a valuable lesson that is ever fleeting from today's curriculum. The lesson of patience and appreciation for your possessions. Too many children are being taught that their gifts are only good until broken. With commemorative coins you can teach your little ones the value of pristine quality, of treasuring what you have and most importantly the respect for one's things.

At Coin Mercantile we have many holiday themed coins and many more unique coins that would make a great personal gift for your family. We offer coins from many different countries and numerous themes. Whether your loved one is an Animal Lover, an Astronomer or a world traveler, we have the perfectly themed commemorative coin to fit whatever passion your family members follow.

One of my personal Favorite coins of the holiday theme is issued by the island country of Niue. The Niue 2012 $2 Christmas Bell w/ Swarovski Crystal 28.28gm Silver Proof Coin is beautifully crafted with a truly one-of-a-kind Bell shape. This coin is made from 28.28gm of .999 Pure Silver and is minted by the Mennica Polska (Mint of Poland) in a Proof Finish.

Make your merry way to our store and be sure to have a look at the Holiday Section. Also while you're there, stop by the Sales and New Coins sections to stay up to date with our latest and greatest deals.
