Commemorative coins should never be considered investments. I know what you mean though Elaine, but I stopped thinking that way over a year ago. Now I just buy what I like without reguard to what it may be worth in the future. On occassion though, if a coin that I may not have bought otherwise is brought to my attention that it may be worth something, then I may just get it. For example, this coin in my signiture line was one of those coins. __________________ “Punishment is the way in which society expresses its denunciation of wrongdoing and, in order to maintain respect for law, it is essential that the punishment inflicted for grave crimes should adequately reflect the revulsion felt by the great majority of citizens for them.” Lord Justice Denning of the Court of Appeals in the United Kingdom   03-06-2009, 11:16 AM   #11 (permalink) mralexanderb Coin Collector     Join Date: Feb 2007 Posts: 2,125 My Mood: Yes.

You never know. Wasn't there braille on one of the State Quarters? I believe this coin is the first with "readable" braille characters. __________________ ANA LM 6110   03-06-2009, 12:36 PM   #13 (permalink) Troodon Coin Collector     Join Date: Nov 2005 Location: Englewood, CO Posts: 1,804 Quote: Originally Posted by mralexanderb Yes.

First would be the 2003 Alabama quarter; there is braille on the reverse of that one, above Hellen Keller. The braille on that one is extremely tiny though so it would be difficult to actually "read." The braille on the Braille comem could definitely be read by a blind person, though only if you took it out of its plastic capsule (and didn't mind them running their fingers across the surface of it!). __________________ "It's a Sacagawea dollar!
