<p>[QUOTE=&quot;RickieB, post: 100997, member: 2486&quot;]My answers to;</p><p>1. For the most part I think this has always been the case from a standpoint of &quot;eye appeal&quot;...I see no reason for that to change. As for myself, the coins I select must have this quality to be in my collection. As for toning, that is a matter of likes or dislike..if a coin has toned and is just really beautiful..then it&#039;s &quot;eye appeal&quot; has increased to that breed of collector..to others, the surface has been altered and is of no interest but I have seen $$ increase in a significant manner for these specimens.</p><p><br /></p><p>#2. Commem&#039;s well ..are just that..there are set mintages on these coins wether or not they sell out is another question based on their popularity. I see all silver commem&#039;s as special coins and at minimum hold onto their issue value. There are a certain few that have very low mintages and go for big $$..then there are the higher mintage one like the USMC coin that will for the most part allways demand a premium. I know of no other coin that the mint has increased the mintage numbers to satisfy the potential &quot;demand&quot; (key word here) for modern commem&#039;s, do you?</p><p><br /></p><p>#3 The $5 Gold commems are in my opinion greatly undervalued. I have been adding these to my collection in PCGS grade MS and Prf 69 every chance I get. There are a few examples that are really trading for premium dollars at the moment. You can still get several at 120.00 to 130.00 price point..get em while you can!!</p><p><br /></p><p>#4. Agree...I can honestly say that I have nothing in my collection that has been cleaned.</p><p><br /></p><p>Nice thread :kewl: ..I hope to see the response&#039;s from other&nbsp; seasoned collector&#039;s out there. </p><p><br /></p><p>RickieB[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
