<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TheFinn, post: 3208773, member: 90102&quot;]I collect U.S. commemorative coins, but I collect the classic series issued between 1892-1954.&nbsp; These have increased in value greatly, but they are currently worth about 1/4 what they were in the late &#039;80&#039;s to mid-90&#039;s.&nbsp; So, whoever bought them then lost a great deal of money.&nbsp; I buy them now because I think they are near the bottom of where they will drop as far as price goes.&nbsp; I am gambling, but I am a collector, so even if I sell them for 1/2 of what I paid, I will still be happy because of the enjoyment and learning I received from them.&nbsp; The mintages are usually less than 25,0000.&nbsp; Compare that to the new commemoratives with mintages in the 500,000 range.&nbsp; And the older pieces didn&#039;t come in special capsules and cases, so many have been spent or mis-handled through the years.&nbsp; So the available numbers are low - especially compared to all of the perfect-condition Edison dollars.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
