2024 Niue $2 1-oz Silver MLB Trading Coin Colorized Proof 2-pc Set

The Baseball Cards Of Our Youth Never Looked Like This!

Opening a pack of baseball cards is a rite of youth, on that provided shouts of joy when you found your favorite player—especially if it was a special “Chase” card that was printed in smaller quantities and inserted in random packages. You could spend all summer and use up all your allowance money buying up packages just to acquire one of those scarce cards. Now you can feel that same joy thanks to this new coin series from the New Zealand Mint that packages Major League Baseball Trading Coins in two-piece sets that include random, limited-edition coins. Each “pack” is a mystery, and you won’t know what you have until you open it up—just like those baseball card packs you bought when you were a kid!

Colorized Images Of Baseball’s Most Popular Players

Released on behalf of Niue, a small island nation in the South Pacific Ocean, each legal-tender $2 coin was struck as a 45 mm coin in a Troy ounce of highly pure 99.9% fine silver. The coins feature colorized images of baseball’s most popular players—just like their cardboard brothers! Some of the players include Shohei Ohtani, Juan Soto, Bobby Wuitt Jr., Alex Bregman, Bryce Harper, Mike Trout, and Aaron Judge! Plus, the coins will come in gorgeous Proof condition, meaning they were expertly crafted by the mint from hand-selected planchets, polished dies, and multiple strikes to produce beautifully frosted details rising over mirror-like fields.

Odds-Based Scarcity System Introduces Element Of Chance

The coins will come beautifully housed in custom-design MLB-branded packaging that holds two cards. Unlike standard collectible coins, which focus on scarcity through limited mintage numbers, these trading coins introduce an exciting twist with an odds-based scarcity system. This approach not only makes collecting more dynamic but also adds an element of surprise and exclusivity that’s similar to the odds-based systems common in trading cards or collectibles with a chase component. By assigning different odds to various items, these systems introduce an element of chance and scarcity, making the process of collecting more engaging and rewarding. The scarcity breakdown for these coins goes like this:

• ·     Emerald Mintage: 100% odds – Every collector is guaranteed an Emerald coin in each box. These serve as the cornerstone of the trading coin collection, ensuring everyone has a precious piece to enjoy.
• ·     Topaz Mintage: 60% odds – These coins are more accessible, with a warm yellow hue that brightens up any collection. Ideal for collectors who enjoy the thrill of the hunt but want more frequent finds.
• ·     Ruby Mintage: 20% odds – Red, bold, and eye-catching, Ruby coins are highly sought after for their vibrant color and moderate scarcity.
• ·     Sapphire Mintage: 12% odds – These coins offer a balanced mix of scarcity and accessibility. Their striking blue color symbolizes the preciousness of the find.
• ·     Amethyst Mintage: 8% odds – Still exceptionally scarce, Amethyst coins add a touch of mystery to your collection with their deep purple hue and limited availability.
• ·     Onyx Mintage: 0.4% odds – The scarcest of the scarce, these coins are nearly impossible to find. With only 0.4% odds, they are the crown jewels of any collection.

Go For The Gold And Order Yours Today!

There are 51 designs total, which each have varying mintages, so the scarcity of some designs is much higher than others. For example, there is a very small chance for the customer to receive a fractional gold coin—the Onyx Mintage piece—but you won’t know which two designs you’ll get until breaking the set seal and opening the box. Go for the gold and secure as many of these sets as you can!

Note: Every box includes one Emerald coin and one coin from another odds tier.
