Pink coins

[silveraddict]

Just heard that the mint is going to start minting some coins in pink for breast cancer awareness. Starting in 2018. A new $5.00 coin and they said silver dollars and half dollars will be pink also.

I'll research it, but I've not heard anything like this.

Became law on 4-29-1916. Limited number of coins and only for one year. Gold coins apparently will only be 75% gold due to silver and copper added to make pink color.

IF and I do mean "IF", that they come out and produce for general circulation, they will be SNATCHED up so fast that they will become coins that we as CRH's will want, just as much as any AG.

They're not gonna be made for circulation. Ordered from the mint just like all other speciality sets.

Dang, I was hoping that they would make some for circulation. I would think people would want to spend them to bring more awareness to breast cancer research.
