<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Garlicus, post: 3624247, member: 73190&quot;]I like that the legislation calls for the coins to be the same size and weight as the originals. Most of the recent commemoratives have been struck on a 1oz planchet.</p><p><br /></p><p>Downsides:</p><p>- no guarantee that the design will be exactly the same as the originals. (I’m thinking about the recent WLH, SLQ and Mercury commemoratives that were less than perfect)</p><p>- will probably be in 99.99% instead of the original 90% silver</p><p><br /></p><p>I am not a Morgan and/or Peace collector (at this time,anyways), although I do have some low grades, but would probably purchase, provided the design is the same as the original. With a total mintage for both coins, in proof and uncirculated combined, at 500k, that translates to 250k per coin. I can see it being a sellout, but would hope that they have the proper limits on initial sales (1 or 2 of each?), as there are many collectors of these series. The CC version, if made as a portion of the production, would probably be part of a special set, not a stand alone coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>One more log to throw on the fire - do the ‘fantasy’ DC pieces with more recent dates detract from the interest in these commemorative issues? Just a short yes or no answer. No need to go off on his issuance of these coins, here, as there is a specific thread to discuss that, and I/we request that you do that over there.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
