<p>[QUOTE=&quot;green18, post: 2266061, member: 10103&quot;]You are correct in your assessments, Joe......I am putting together a mid to high grade set of these (along with the Booker T&#039;s).&nbsp; Why?&nbsp; First off, it&#039;s doable.&nbsp; Many of these coins can be had in high grade at fairly reasonable prices.&nbsp; Secondly, many of the years in question are low mintage so I may see some price appreciation in the future if this series ever catches fire down the road.......what we need are more Afro/American collectors for that to happen though.&nbsp;&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> Thirdly, it&#039;s a group of coins that I&#039;ve admired since I was a lad.......I&#039;ve always liked that <i>USA</i> superimposed over the map of the United States.&nbsp; One&nbsp; further note...... at the time these were coins were minted there was a tremendous fear of communism in this country......McCarthyism was rampant in the early fifties.&nbsp; Both Bookers and Carver/Washingtons were minted in an effort to oppose (from the profits) the spread of communism among black peoples in the interest of national defense.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
