<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gronnh20, post: 2532399, member: 73224&quot;]With modern commemorative halves there are only two dates that are 90% silver.&nbsp; Those are 1982 and 1993.&nbsp; I collect modern commemorative halves also.&nbsp; Only raw though when I can find them.&nbsp; I couldn&#039;t convince myself slabbed modern commemorative coins were worth the added expense.&nbsp; I also want them in an album.&nbsp; I feel commemorative coins were made for albums or vice versa.</p><p><br /></p><p>Some of the modern commemorative coins can be found in Prestige sets.&nbsp; I try to buy these to offset the cost of the half.&nbsp; The prestige set comes with the proof versions of the commemorative coins for that year.&nbsp; So, that means a silver dollar.&nbsp; Sold along with any proof coins I don&#039;t want.&nbsp; Of course the circulated version of the half would have to be purchased separately.&nbsp; This, of course, is only one way to find them on the cheaper.</p><p><br /></p><p>I like the designs of older commemorative halves better.&nbsp; I just can&#039;t justify the cost of the coins for a complete collection.&nbsp; Except for the Texas commemorative.&nbsp; I have thought about getting every Texas commemorative half to make as a complete collection(12).&nbsp; Those I would want slabbed.&nbsp; I believe these to be reasonably priced in MS grades.&nbsp; And I&#039;m sorta partial to the Lone Star state.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
