The mint is restricted to 2 commems a year, but to get around that they issue two different designs under one theme. The Ben Franklin set is an example, young scientist and elder statesman. So now you have two designs to buy. Then you have to buy an uncirculated finish and a proof finish. Now up to four. Then don't forget the Legacy Collection, a pricey little box with the years commems in it. Now up to five different purchases. And of course depending on what the other theme for the year is, you want a complete set of that coin as well so you have both that come in the Legacy Collection. Ten coins, all never to circulate, all basically bullion, and we hope they go up in value. Sometimes I think that P.T. Barnum was correct...</font></span>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
