<p>[QUOTE="kookoox10, post: 1391948, member: 31129"]Being on the other side of the glass, I enjoy commems more so than anything else because they're just like pattern coins. Without the pattern prices of course. It spoke to a time when the mint actually held design contests or hired independent artists to create some of the timeless pieces you see today. Nothing was computer rendered or laser cut onto clay molds like you see in today's coinage.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
