<p>[QUOTE="CamaroDMD, post: 1157189, member: 5233"]So, it seems that with commemoratives, typically the sell on the secondary market for less than they sold from the mint. Is this the correct assumption? Now, that would make one think they are better off buying them on the secondary market. That said, there have been a couple over the years (Silver Buffalo, Silver Lincoln) that did rise in value quite quickly after their release.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have already stated in another thread that I want to put together a proof modern commemorative collection. I think I'm going to start with clad and some of the less expensive silvers and then work my way up. There is currently the US Army clad commemorative proof being offered from the mint for $22. Do you think I am better off buying this coin from the mint or waiting and buying it from a dealer later? I can't imagine the clad will gain much value, history tells me that it will likely drop in value. What do you think?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
