    DAMN that Merc looks sexy.
    Tis one of my favourite silver coins and a gold version will definitely have a place in our house.
    YUMMY!

    "Look! We're re-releasing a design from 80-100 years ago...again!"

    You think the private mints are boring ("Oh wow, a Morgan design. Hey look, a Buffalo") and then you see the actual U.S. mint doing exactly the same thing and it's even less interesting.

    Coin design at the US Bureau of Printing and Engraving: where making a blatant copy of a century-old design counts as work.

    At least they found some worthy 'not ugly' century-old designs.

    I could take or leave that Liberty half .. but depending on the premium, that Merc Dime and Liberty Quarter are calling me for a purchase.

    I'm assuming 22kt, like is popular with most US gold coinage.

    It's really interesting to see these coins with 2016 dates.
