<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Vess1, post: 1257303, member: 13650&quot;]Commemoratives are near and dear to me.&nbsp; I have quite a few.&nbsp; The 82 Washington half is 90%.&nbsp; After that, i think all the halves went to clad.&nbsp; There may be one or two that are silver.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; I would not worry about the investment aspect of collecting them.&nbsp; Just because a lot of people aren&#039;t interested in them right now, should be all the more reason to get your hands on them.&nbsp;&nbsp; If they&#039;re cheaper because of it, enjoy it!&nbsp; If everybody was going nuts buying them, driving the prices through the roof, then you would want them all and may only be able to get a few.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; My favorite half designs that I used for the four spots in my Intercept Shield US type set are a toned, 1892 Columbian half (the first commems the mint produced),&nbsp; a MS-64 1920 Pilgrim that I cracked out of a PCGS holder (this one was $140, beautiful commem), a 1982 Washington and a 2008 Bald eagle commem. half.&nbsp; I liked the bald eagle half so much I got it in PF70 and MS70.&nbsp;&nbsp; I have the &#039;08 Bald eagle 3 coin set in PF70s.&nbsp;&nbsp; If there was a fifth spot in the type set, I&#039;d probably go with an Oregon trail.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; Many will say they&#039;re common and affordable in high grades, but I assure you, they aren&#039;t just giving them away.&nbsp; Especially the older ones.&nbsp;&nbsp; There&#039;s a huge selection and they can be one of the more gratifying purchases to walk away from a show with.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
