<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jimmyrules712, post: 606605, member: 10367&quot;]Easy there RickieB, I was never claiming to know anything about this subject, which is why I opened this thread to learn.&nbsp; Informing me on the subject is very helpful and appreciated, telling me I need to go somewhere else and learn more facts before asking is not appreciated and saying &quot;no disrespect intended&quot; doesn&#039;t make it ok to make disrespectful comments.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>You misread my statement; your post before basically explained that many ASEs and similar coins have collectible value beyond their bullion value and my response (when I said &quot;all that means is they are equivalent to commemoratives&quot;) was basically saying that all you are telling me is ASEs have collectors value just like all coins, whether legal tender or not, which does not exactly answer my original question.</p><p><br /></p><p>I never meant to make it sound like I knew that commemorative halfs are not legal tender, but cloudsweepers post and some others in this thread indicated that coins of this type have values printed on them for technical purposes and the question of whether or not they are legal tender is a gray area.&nbsp; Which is exactly why I opened this thread, to have those questions answered.&nbsp; You must admit it is a bit confusing with how many products the mint makes that are not intended for circulation.</p><p><br /></p><p>The fact that commemoratives are spendable, and have been found in circulation, is something I did not know.&nbsp; Thanks for that information Hobo.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
