The Jamestown 400th Anniversary Commemorative Coin Program comprises two commemorative coins – a silver dollar and a $5 gold coin – available in both proof and uncirculated conditions. Surcharges from the program will support 400th anniversary programs such as promoting understanding, continuing preservation, and improving the infrastructure of Jamestown, among other commemorative events. These programs will be conducted by, and the surcharges will be directed to, the Jamestown-Yorktown Foundation of the Commonwealth of Virginia, the Secretary of the Interior and the Association for Preservation of Virginia Antiquities.

Authorized by Public Law 108-289, the commemorative coins are limited to maximum mintages across all product options of 500,000 for the silver dollar and 100,000 for the $5 gold coin. Both coins may be issued only during the one-year period beginning January 1, 2007.



I think your right. Any idea of the cost???

With the interest in numismatics clearly on the rise again in America...I predict that every set they mint from here on out will sell out, as long as the mintages are reasonable. Over 500,000 of anything is un-reasonable by the way.

That is one reason why I love the Royal canadian Mint so much...Although they have literally dozens of different products available at any given time, the mintages are usually very very low. They often roll stuff out with mintages under 1000!! Cool site too:
