150th Anniversary Currency Set

Come on rickmp,
It's a well know "fact" that "Commemoratives" and any other items such as "Anniversary Issues" that are made up to be collected are, well, made up to be collected.

Are you saying that they are not made up as collectors items, if not then what are they made up for, never mind please don't try an answer that.

In other words, they are not made to be used. I'm not saying that they cant be used but that was not the intension of them being made. I'm sure you know that notes that are made for normal circulation are made to be used. That's what I collect and I try an find or buy the best condition that I can afford.

I don't know where you got the idea that what I said was belittling, It is not belittling, or degrading, it is a direct statement as to what the items are, and my answer was that I don't buy things like that, why is that such a problem for you, some of my friends collect "Commemoratives" and "Special Issues" of items that are made up for the purpose of collecting, I don't.

Just because I don't collect things like that does not mean that I belittle or look down on those that do, I just don't have any interest in things that are made up like that.

Now your saying that I believe that the way I collect is the only right way and everyone else is wrong, where did that come from. You don't know how or what I collect other than I don't collect items that are made up to be collected.

As far as I'm concerned there is no right or wrong way to collect anything, it's your money, waste it the way you want, and I'll waste mine the way I want.


Like I said, I won't be offering any opinions on any questions you may have in the future as It seems that if an opinion is different than yours you get upset.

Have a nice day, hope you have a better one tomorrow.

We disagree. That's OK. That ends it for me. I wish you a good day also.

 

This sentence I like. I would substitute the word spend for waste.

 

Shoot, all of my money gets wasted on gas, mortgage payment, cell & TV bill, water, gas, utilities, and some notes here and there. Oh and let's not forget how much I waste on food. Too bad I don't have anything else to waste my money on LOL.:dead-horse:

 

Most of my money gets spent on women and booze. The rest gets wasted.

 

The only money I *spend* would be on a Sig Sauer SP2022 9MM and next to come, a Kahr P380C auto.:yes:

 

SIG is good.
I sort of worked for them. Worked for Hammerli out Switzerland for many years and they were part of SIG.

I went ahead and ordered one of these sets and a 4 subject sheet. I
l'll post in here the serial numbers I get...if anyone is interested.

 

Notes arrived Christmas Eve.....

 

Cool! if the set has a limited mintage, it could go for something. They stopped printing 2 dollar bills in 2003.

 

Uh...No.

 

Perfect timing!
Mine are probably in, too, but I won't be able to see them until the 3rd. Mail being held while traveling. I'm hoping for better numbers.

 

I wonder why they have 2 different districts this time.

 

Finally received mine today (PO hand dated for delivery on 12/21).
I received #s 0198, 0199, 0200, 0202, 0203. I have no idea why
I didn't get 0201.

I might order more to play the serial number lottery.

 

As of this post, 4312 of these sets have been sold. If they are sent out in rising numerical order, the finer serials (20122012/18622012, etc.) are already gone.

 

I got my sets today. It looks like there are about half the sets left. Not bad for only 5 weeks of sales.

Has anyone been contacted as a winner of the drawing?

 

Site says winners will be contacted after 1/11/13, but not how soon after.

 

Frankly, those look made-up to me.

 

"Made-up"? Please explain.

 

Just a lame reference to an earlier post about collecting "made-up" collectibles. Wasn't meant to be taken seriously.
