modern cimmems

sales & financial performance of commemorative coin programs from 1982 to 1995:

profit or loss: surcharges not included.
1982 - 14.4 million profit
1983-84 - 10.3 mil profit
1986 - 28.6 mil profit
1987 - 34.6 mil profit
1988 - 1.0 mil profit
1989 - 6.0 mil profit
1990 - 1.1 mil loss
1991 - 12.7 mil profit
1992 - 8.6 mil profit
1993 - 6.8 mil profit
1994 - 3.4 mil loss
1995 - 3.9 mil loss

 

modern commem prices up too

modern commems coins were also up recently due to silver booming. by calculation: one commem dollar equal to 0.76 oz of silver.
silver at $20.32 as of this writing. the bullion value will be 0.76 x $20.32 equal $15.44 each. so the bid is $15.44 and the ask is $16.99 (10% profit margin). and the maximum retail price will be $22.64 each (33% profit margin)

1984 l.a. olympics. 1986 statue of liberty, 1987 constitutional, 1988 seoul olympics, 1989 congress should traded between $17.00 to $22.50 each. depending which dealers you deal with and what trade show you attending.

 

Here's the future of mint commemoratives if they continue at their current pace.

http://www.apmex.com/Product/14078/Gold_US_Mint_Commemorative_500_Coins_Years_of_our_Choice.aspx

They'll end up being traded based on denomination without regard to what is actually on the coin.

 

Er well in 1918 they did a half dollar featuring Lincoln, but that was to celebrate the anniversary of Illinois's statehood, not Lincoln's birth.

Not that there's anything saying an event or person can't be commemorated more than once. There were commemoratives in 1904 celebrating the 100th anniversary of the Lewis and Clark Expedition... and again in 2004, celebrating the 200th anniversary of the same thing. Also Columbus discovery of America was arguably celebrated twice, in 1892 & 1893 (technically celebrating the Columbian Expo, but indriectly celebrated Columbus's discovery) and again in 1992.

 

Somebody should reread their history book. The Pony Express began in 1860 so that would be the 150th anniversary.
