To all readers, new visitors, and regulars, I want to wish you a safe, healthy, and happy new year. I sincerely hope 2024 was a great year for all of you and that 2025 will be even better! From a numismatic perspective, there is also a lot to look forward to in the new year.
In 2025, we will see the fourth year of the American Women Quarter Series from the United States Mint. We will also enjoy five new dollar coins in the American Innovation series, with this year representing its eighth year of production (I know!? I didn’t realize it had been that long, either!). Perhaps one of the big highlights for collectors will be the continuation of the Morgan and Peace Dollar series. It is highly recommended that collectors sign up for the enrollment program on these coins, as they will likely sell out very quickly. The Mint also has scheduled the successive four silver medals in the Presidential Silver Medal series, starting with the first release in February.
Looking back at 2024 from a site perspective, it was a busy year. Two hundred ninety-nine unique articles were posted in 2024, and the site broke the 1.5 million visitor threshold for the third consecutive year. Daily visits and use of the Apple News feed continue to amaze me. In 2024, many of you also supported the site through Patron. Thank you so very much!
Looking to 2025, and my personal collection, my biggest goal honestly is to just catalog what I haven’t had time to do! I have dozens of coins that need to be graded – by me or by NGC – and cataloged. I was fortunate enough to make a sizable dent in my Eisenhower Dollar collection last year, but many are still yet to be cataloged. From a collecting perspective, I plan to focus on Jefferson Nickels. I have nearly a complete set, but I have several mid-1950 Nickels that I’d like to improve grade-wise.
As always, I appreciate any feedback on the site. You can use the contact form on the About page.
Once again, a very happy new year to all of you. Thank you for your continued support and visits to the site. All the best to you in 2025!
Clinton
