<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Cloudsweeper99, post: 122349, member: 3011&quot;]gxseries, some of the gold commemoratives were made in pretty large numbers, but there are more AGEs than commems, yet they command a higher premium.&nbsp; The commems are 90% gold.&nbsp; The AGEs are 91.67% gold with just enough silver to make you wonder why they bothered.</p><p><br /></p><p>Danr, I tend to agree with you.&nbsp; I like the gold commemoratives better than the bullion coins because of the design variety, and they are less expensive per ounce of gold.&nbsp; The silver commemoratives seem to be more popular, but the gold seems like a better buy.&nbsp; Some of the silver commemorative coins actually sell for more money than some of the gold commemoratives with lower mintages!&nbsp; Go figure.&nbsp; I don&#039;t understand what the Mint is doing with the 1st lady coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>Being a natural contrarian at heart, and being about 75% investor and 25% collector, I have to be impressed by the lack of response to this thread, and the lack of threads about gold commemorative coins on the site.&nbsp; To me, this makes the gold commemorative coins possibly one of the bargains of the numismatic world.&nbsp; Many times it is the item that is overlooked and not collected that eventually turns out to be the greatest value.&nbsp; So for me, the silence is a very loud statement.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
