<p>[QUOTE=&quot;johnmilton, post: 25659233, member: 101855&quot;]My wife give this Monroe to me for Christmas many years ago. It is graded MS-64. At the time the price for an MS-65 was through the roof. Since then, the prices have come down quite a bit. </p><p><br /></p><p>The Monroe coin was not well made. The relief was not high enough to bring up the design. This one is about as good as it gets. </p><p><br /></p><p>This commemorative was made for the motion picture industry. They had to scratch to find an event to commemorate for 1923. They finally came up with the Monroe Doctrine. </p><p><br /></p><p>These coins were sold for $1 each. After the celebration was over, the sponsors dumped them into circulation. The result was the piece is fairly coin common in AU. Before third party grading came along, a lot of AUs were sold as Uncs. to unsuspecting collectors. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1641356[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
