What is the interest in it? Will they make a version that will actually go into circulation or is it a once and done kind of thing? I wonder what the interest is in this coin right now? Any chance it could become another Sacagawea?   11-03-2008, 05:59 PM   #2 (permalink) Hobo Numismatist In Training     Join Date: Dec 2007 Location: Colorado Springs, CO Posts: 5,027 My Mood: Quote: Originally Posted by dollarcoins4fun Will they make a version that will actually go into circulation or is it a once and done kind of thing? Commemorative coins carry a hefty premium so they will not enter circulation through normal channels (e.g., through banks). That is not to say that some unknowing person (e.g., a kid raiding Daddy's collection or a thief) won't spend one at face value. __________________ No state shall emit bills of credit, make any thing but gold and silver coin a tender in payment of debts, coin money . . . - US Constitution, Article 1, Section 10 ANA LM-3799; OHNS LM-59; SUSCC R-4005.

Like Hobo states it is highly unlikely that any of these issues will see circulation. Unlike some of the commemoratives that where issued back in the 20's and 30's. Some of those coins were distributed by banking institutions and did indeed wind up in circulation. __________________ They also serve who only stand and wait....John Milton   11-03-2008, 07:12 PM   #6 (permalink) Danr Numismatist     Join Date: Jul 2005 Posts: 2,942 My Mood: what is it going to look like? will there be a $5 gold?   11-03-2008, 07:58 PM   #7 (permalink) dollarcoins4fun E Pluribus Unum     Join Date: Jan 2008 Location: Keystone State Posts: 50 http://www.usmint.gov/pressroom/inde...release&ID=916   11-03-2008, 09:04 PM   #8 (permalink) Greyford Senior Member   Join Date: Jul 2008 Location: Houston, Tx Posts: 131 My Mood: So the Back of the coin says Brl in braille? 1st char = Capitalize 2nd char = b 3rd char = r 4th char = l Last edited by Greyford; 11-04-2008 at 01:17 AM.
