NATIONAL COLLECTOR'S MINT TO SELL 1794 SILVER DOLLAR REPLICA

The National Collector's Mint keeps coming back with new numismatic collectables to peddle. On Thursday the company published a press release announcing a "recreation of the 1794 Silver dollar". Here's an excerpt. Why should the Chinese have all the fun? -Editor

National Collector's Mint is a critical player in today's commemorative and collectible coin industry, and as such, the company is keenly aware of news and happenings from the world of coin collection. In particular, the company's attention has been drawn to a report of a record-setting coin sale, held just recently and capturing the imagination of coin collectors from across the country. National Collector's Mint has issued a new statement to the press, commenting on this historic rare coin sale.

The sale in question involves a 1794 "Flowing Hair" dollar -- believed by many scholars and experts to be the very first silver dollar ever coined by the U.S. Mint. The incredibly rare coin was sold for a sum of some $10 million, just last month.

The sale is big news among coin enthusiasts, and, according to National Collector's Mint, it is reason to celebrate. "At National Collector's Mint, we are always excited by a record-setting coin," opines the company, in its new press statement.

The company goes on to make an important announcement. "We believe the public is excited, as well," says the company's press statement. "We'll test out that notion by trying to re-market our recreation of the 1794 Silver dollar to the general public, focusing on the story of this sale and highlighting the best aspects of the original, like the fact that many experts believe it to be the very first silver dollar ever minted by the U.S. Government."

There goes that "very first silver dollar" phrase again, albeit qualified with "believed by many ... to be". -Editor
