<p>[QUOTE=&quot;illini420, post: 1281501, member: 19423&quot;]Most classic commemoratives, even those with seemingly low mintages, don&#039;t command the really big prices (unless in ultra high grade) because they were issued as collectible pieces.&nbsp; So even when you find issues with mintages of less than 100,000 (or even less than 10,000), a large majority of those coins never entered circulation and are still in mint state today.&nbsp; In contrast, a regular issue half dollar of the same era was actually used and many many less are found in mint state condition today.&nbsp; So, despite their much higher mintages, the regular non-commemorative half dollars in higher grades are much more scarce and command much higher premiums than the lower mintages commemoratives.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
