[QUOTE="jimmyrules712, post: 606876, member: 10367"]Well, first of all, saying "all legal money is legal tender" is circular reasoning. I know that legal money is legal tender, what I did not know is whether or not ASEs and commemoratives qualified as legal money (or legal tender). Since you obviously still don't understand what I meant (and for some reason this is so important) let me re-word it. I originally said the following: "I understand the collectible aspect of them that you bring up but all that means is they are equivalent to commemoratives or other non-legal tender collectibles." Here is the same thing reworded: "All that your statement means is that they have value as collectibles in addition to their bullion value, just like commemoratives or non-legal tender coins, which I already knew. What I do not know is whether or not they have legal tender status, which your statement did not address." Now please tell me what is incorrect here? Moving on...I know perfectly well that a 20 cent coin and fractional currency were legal-tender but have values much higher than their stated denominations (what coin collector wouldn't know something like that?), but those are terrible examples here because unlike ASEs and commemoratives, those items were released into circulation. The whole point of this thread was to identify the status of coins that were not released for circulation.[/QUOTE]
