<p>[QUOTE=&quot;CentDime, post: 659867, member: 7297&quot;]I think the thing is these are half ounce gold coins and most commemorative gold is 1/4 ounce. That may not seem like much however if you look at gold eagles there is a difference in the way the coins go for premiums.</p><p><br /></p><p>Fewer people can collect 1/2 ounce gold vs 1/4 ounce.</p><p><br /></p><p>That being said I am not saying to avoid these coins, only to not expect the prices to jump this year or next year is all. Historically the numbers are low and some time in the future they will do well, at least some of them will.</p><p><br /></p><p>I noticed on the Louisa Adams coin I ordered that the striking in not very high relief, it was the opposite, so low relief it was barely a strike at least on the obverse.</p><p><br /></p><p>For the price they charge they should have put more effort into better relief on these coins. Not all of them are that bad but it is inconsistent is all. The reverse are nice I must say, however people don&#039;t buy only for the reverses.</p><p><br /></p><p>This coin series is 39 coins and so far only 6 have ended sales. So we have many years left to see what happens anyway, Lol.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
