Available in both proof and uncirculated conditions, the $5 gold coin has a mintage limit of up to 100,000, while the $1 silver coin has a mintage limit of up to 500,000.

Yep just ordered the silvers today.

Ordered one silver for each of the boys and a gold for me. Not sure how I feel about the design so I'll wait to see them in person.

Ooo, those are nice!

I think it looks a little cartoony. Is it just me?

THe half eagle is horrific!!! Note how they obscure the "$5" in the brochure, that denomination makes this look like a gaming token for the high limit slots at an Indian casino! The dollar isn't too bad, might end up ordering one of those.

I quite agree. I think I'll pass on those.

I'm poor. I don't care too much about modern commems, but I am a proud Virginian. So, if I had to drop a few bucks on a silver buck, should I get the UNC or Proof? I may opt for both since I did get some b-day money recently. OR I could get 2 examples of one of them.

Any advice?

for this one it seems like the proof might be prettier, but the uncs almost always have lower mintages, so I'd get one of each.

The cartoony is why I like it so much. It's looking like some of the world counterparts.

To each his/her own.

I still might get one.....
