<p>[QUOTE="V. Kurt Bellman, post: 2484863, member: 71723"]For the earlier coins in the series, they can still be found at many banks. You might have to ask several tellers. They dry up pretty much from the first President Johnson onward by that method. The second half of the series was only distributed to collectors by the Mint, for a premium. They are nearly impossible to find in commerce or the banking system, with the very occasional exception. My favorite method is cutting them out of Mint Sets and/or breaking up Proof Sets. A few recent years of both are still in "bubble pricing" mode. Patience is your friend on those. They will drop in price eventually. If you are not collecting by mint (P,D), an idea is the coin/first spouse medal pair sets. The other benefit of breaking out Prezbucks from the pair set is that the Prezbucks tend to be primo condition pieces.</p><p><br /></p><p>The bronze first spouse medals have significant upside potential in my opinion.</p><p><br /></p><p>"Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but soon, and for the rest of your life."
