Have you seen the new State Quarters? They hit a home run for the U.S. Mint (an estimated 130 million people are collecting them), and it seems they've started a new Gold Rush in the USA!This is all due to the new 24 karat gold version of the State Quarters! The 24k gold-plated edition of the quarters has been a huge hit for The Morgan Mint -- a company that specializes in collectible coins. Over 120 million people around the world are clamoring for them, according to Walter Kole, director of business development for The Morgan Mint. The coins look and feel like solid gold.
"Gold has held a tremendous fascination to people for generations," Kole says. "It holds widespread appeal as an investment and storehouse of value, and we offer it in a form that's affordable."
Available only for a limited time, The Morgan Mint is offering the first 10 coins issued in the historic State Quarters Program (1999-2000), richly layered in 24 karat pure gold, and in brilliant uncirculated condition for only $20. Sets from 2001-2006 are also available in gold for $24.95 a piece.
Collectors can also buy colorized, holographic, and two-toned versions of all the State Quarters issued between 1999-2006, directly from The Morgan Mint.
"Our business has increased tenfold ever since the State Quarter program launched," says Kole. "No other collectible commodity in history has ever achieved such soaring popularity, and these quarters will only grow in value as the years go by, so you'd better get them before they're gone."
