<p>[QUOTE=&quot;V. Kurt Bellman, post: 3304855, member: 71723&quot;]Yup, “standard” commem halves went &gt;$20 last year. The issue is there are THREE divisions at the U.S. Mint. NONE OF THEM is allowed to subsidize any other. 1) Circulating. 2) Bullion. 3) Numismatic.</p><p><br /></p><p>What this means is the lower sales&nbsp; drop, the higher prices will rise. Commem half sales units have dropped precipitously, ergo, price increases. So, are you a collector, or just a cheapskate?</p><p><br /></p><p>BTW, PROOF bullion isn’t in the bullion division. It’s in the numismatic. 5 ounce ATB pucks come from two different divisions, but the Apollo puck is strictly numismatic.</p><p><br /></p><p>The Hall of Fame clad half won the 2015 Coin of the Year due to the tremendous difficulty of a clad curved coin. Reject rates were VERY high compared to normal coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
