Because they were the workhorse of the economy. Everybody used them in everyday transactions. Sure they were beautiful designs, but they were heavily circulated and that is why finding early pieces in uncirculated condition is like finding hens&#039; teeth.</p><p><br /></p><p>I like trey&#039;s idea for distribution but I agree with bliss that the same guys who found a way to take advantage of the JFK release will find a way to buy up all the bags and rolls, etc. out from under collectors again.</p><p><br /></p><p>All I know is I can&#039;t afford gold or platinum right now, and I don&#039;t think that should preclude my ownership of any type of commemorative. It should only limit my choice of composition.</p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t think Weinman or MacNeil would approve. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
