My Mood: | 2009 braille silver commemorative dollar
this 2009 braille silver commemorative dollar will be offered by the mint on mar 26,2009. i think it will be less mintage than the 2009 lincoln silver commemorative dollar. but this does not proof braille dollar will be more valuable than lincoln dollar. what you think?. will you buy it?.

This sounds harsh, but I just couldn't care less, almost. Just not an interesting subject to me. I'm not up for it.

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.

I always buy proof and uncirc. when they come out. You never know. Wasn't there braille on one of the State Quarters? I believe this coin is the first with "readable" braille characters.

Bruce | Nope, it's actually the second. 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!).
