Elaine, you just bought like 10 first spouse coins, I doubt that $40 is going to break you.

This coin is pretty lame in my estimation. I've had them sitting in my cart before and just couldn't bring myself to check out and complete the order.

I think, like has been suggested, that the lack of W Eagles has me getting a little impatient as I never usually would even look at commems unless they were too attractive to pass up like the Lincoln or Buffalo.

The Braille may be considered a "niche" coin. The current sales figures don't indicate that it is destined to be a rarity.

Always buy unc if you want value, buy proof if you like them and just want to collect and don't care about value. UNCs tend to be more valuable than the proofs....always!

Is that true? Are you talking about commemorative's only? what about ASE? 2008 doesn't seem to be holding true for that one. What about the annual quarters?
