These unique curved commemorative coins launch on March 27, 2014 with introductory prices available during the first month of sales. The United States Mint will also sell two $5 gold versions but those prices can change weekly with $50 movements in the value of gold and the two coins’ opening prices will not be known until March 26, 2014.
Whether in gold, silver or clad, all the Baseball coins share common designs with obverses depicting a baseball glove and reverses showcasing a baseball like those used in the game. Their shapes are curved, a first for the Mint, and enhance the design. (See the six Baseball coins.)
Returning to prices, introductory levels will be $4 less for the 50-cent clad coins and $5 less for the $5 gold and $1 silver coins. Regular prices will kick in after 5 p.m. ET on April 28, 2014.
Introductory Prices Regular Prices Mintages
Proof $1 Silver Coins $51.95 $56.95
Uncirculated $1 Silver Coins $47.95 $52.95 400,000

Today, as of this writing gold prices have fallen, about $15 to below $1,350 an ounce. If the London Fix average of gold between Thursday, March 20, and Wednesday, March 26, stays to within the range of $1,300.00 to $1,349.99 an ounce, the proof $5 gold coin would start at $424.75 and the uncirculated $5 gold coin would open at $419.75.
Prices of the Baseball gold coins will adjust +/-$12.15 if the gold average moves up/down into a different $50 range tier.
Silver Coins Today will publish a more detailed article about the commemorative coins next week. When they are released, they may be ordered directly from the U.S. Mint at www.usmint.gov/catalog.
