[QUOTE="Blasty, post: 8244319, member: 38375"]All, Thank you for your replies. I didn't mean to abandon this thread, just got busy for a bit. I'll take some time to look back over the replies with more attention. So far it seems the consensus is that there are so many commemoratives that are for the most part uninteresting (and in some cases botched). That makes sense, and from a coin collecting perspective I'm right there. There are very few that I would like to have as a piece to admire. The 1987 $5 Constitution piece was mentioned - I like that one, too, but don't currently have one. I still find it interesting that the unpopularity of these as coins would relegate them to a status lower than "junk silver" when they are, as far as silver goes, the same. So unpopular that the "get the most silver for my buck" crowd doesn't even seem to show interest in scooping up silver dollars at melt, a price nearly unheard of for any silver these days. But $3+ over for some slick, dateless Quarters? No Problem! :) I suppose people will be strange.[/QUOTE]
