<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Cloudsweeper99, post: 85324, member: 3011&quot;]I have mixed feelings about commemoratives.&nbsp; The designs aren&#039;t great.&nbsp; Most often they are overpriced when issued, but sometimes they are available for a reasonable price.&nbsp; I occasionally see the $1 proof coins for less than $10, which seems reasonable based on their silver content and value to some collectors.&nbsp; One of my recent purchases was a 1984-D $10 Olympic gold commem. proof in the original packaging.&nbsp; There were about 35K issued, yet it sold for about the value of the gold bullion.&nbsp; So it is a reasonable bullion-type investment with a potential collector&#039;s premium down the road if commemorative gold coins ever become more popular.&nbsp; I&#039;d rather buy something like this than a regular gold bullion coin. I&#039;m not about to try to collect the whole series, but an occasional commemorative gold coin now and then is nice to have.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
