About the U.S. Mint
The United States Mint was created by Congress in 1792 and became part of the Department of the Treasury in 1873. It is the Nation’s sole manufacturer of legal tender coinage and is responsible for producing circulating coinage for the Nation to conduct its trade and commerce.
The U.S. Mint also produces numismatic products, including proof, uncirculated, and commemorative coins; Congressional Gold Medals; and silver and gold bullion coins. The United States Mint’s numismatic programs are self-sustaining and operate at no cost to taxpayers.
There is no product differentiation from the bullion version mentioned. The only remotely different aspect seems that it comes in a box with a certificate. That is hardly worth the approximate $300 surcharge. If there is anything unique to that of the bullion coin, then the USMint needs to employ basic marketing and explain this. As such, I couldn’t care more about this product.
