I still like the Franklin-Scientist design...can't get enough of them :eating: I recently bought ten (10) unopened Franklin Scientist Coin & Chronical sets for $237...(I opened one of them to make sure it still had the coin).
year 2011 - 9/11 world trade commemorate 10th anniversary silver dollar proposed. 2,000,000 silver dollar. wow. killing me. $10.00 surcharge. if sell out $20 million goes to the organizer.
need to produce more half dollar silver commemorative now instead of dollar. too many dollar and we are tire of it. just charge $10.00 for each donation or surcharge and save 1/2 of silver needed.
Who is tired of it? I love the silver dollar sized commemorative coins and I this is the first time I have ever heard anyone complain about it.
I'm not tired of the silver dollar issues either, but I will say I agree with Elaine that the mint should issue more silver 50 cent pieces in their commemorative program....
I do too...I miss the days of the old 50 cent, 1 dollar, 5 dollar gold commemorative sets. I know those had clad half dollars...but there is no reason they couldn't do it with silver.
Why did they pass the house? They are supposed to stop and try to sell some cookies! Maybe the case for these coins will come in a mock thin mints box!
since it is only allowed two commemorative event a year. the future might look like these: 2010 - disabled veterans 2010 - boy's scout 2011 - u.s. army 2011 - 2012 - star spangled banner 2012 - national infantry 2013 - president reagan 2013 - girl's scout 2014 - civil rights 2014 - mother's day 2015 - 2015 -
