<p>[QUOTE="Randy Abercrombie, post: 25362557, member: 92655"]Hi Kay….. In the numismatic world there are a number of variables that can add value to a coin that would otherwise appear similar to another face value coin that someone who doesn’t study coins would never understand…… The one thing I can tell you is that the Bicentennial coins were a big deal at the time. The US mint had not changed any designs for quite some time so when they came up with the bicentennial coins, they were minted quite a lot of them…. So for the most part, while interesting they are quite common……. The other thing too is that often people will try to auction common coins like this for sky high figures and that leads others to believe they have more value when they really don’t.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
