News cycles seem to be quiet lately. I wonder what is going on in the world?! 😉

All kidding aside, this past week appears that people are rushing to complete whatever tasks are at hand before the holiday weekend and the end of the year. With everyone celebrating, I am not anticipating anything earth shattering from any news sector.

One thing I will remind those who buy collectibles from the U.S. Mint will stop selling the 2017 Boys Town and Lions Club commemorative coins on December 28. All other coins and medals that will be ending this year, such as anything dated 2016, can be ordered up until December 31.

Remember, the U.S. Mint only accepts orders via their website or by calling 800-USA-MINT (800-872-6468).
