<p>[QUOTE=&quot;SilverWilliesCoinsdotcom, post: 2788051, member: 86795&quot;]COAs free floating of the coin itself are not unlike Monopoly currency. Always been a bit amused and also offended by the 2nd hand velvet US Mint Box COA market. Just smacks of scam for anyone with a handful of capsules. Disgusting. I think it&#039;s part of the reason no one takes modern US commemorative silver seriously, that and over-zealous production numbers. 90% Silver Proof Dollars going for melt value is a bit amusing and also sad. The decline of our society&#039;s general everyday usage of both paper currency and also coins present what I believe to be a genuine threat&nbsp; to the future of traditional numismatics. Kids will no longer be able to make the real world and or historical connections if you will to these shiny round things, soon to be gone the way of subway tokens perhaps. Not to bum myself out on the 4th of July, but I wouldn&#039;t be surprised to see a &quot;Nike at US Mint&quot; Commemorative Basketball Silver Set soon, would you?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
