<p>[QUOTE=&quot;johnmilton, post: 25469318, member: 101855&quot;]The commemorative half dollars used to be priced so that YNs could afford them. The mint even marketed them in educational cards which allowed the YNs to learn some history as well as collect the coins. </p><p><br /></p><p>Now, instead of less than $10, the mint prices for these clad coins is over $50. The Harriet Tubman half dollars are prices at $52 and $54 for example. Really? Does the mint have to get that much to cover its costs on a base metal coin? </p><p><br /></p><p>The mint has been an overpriced government agency since one of the directors decided to maximize profits. That guy didn&#039;t do anybody any favors. I read in <i>Coin World</i> that the sales of commemorative coins are way down. Given the prices, it should be no surprise.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
