<p>[QUOTE=&quot;green18, post: 1392599, member: 10103&quot;]In comment regarding high price for these items, remember folks, a certain portion of the purchase price (usually $10 silver/$35 gold)) is set aside for the purpose of funding the organization/commission that originally applied for the commemorative recognition.&nbsp; My advice to folks who think the release price is too high is to wait until the coin(s) appear in the aftermarket.&nbsp; Many times they are available at a considerable cost reduction.&nbsp; As for the designs on the coins, well, not everyone is going to be pleased....myself included.&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; There are more than a few moderns ( less few classic) that are not top priorities for me design wise.</p><p><br /></p><p>[Edit]&nbsp; And an aside to Yn&#039;s and all who seek to collect this series of coins (classic) with otherwise limited means.&nbsp; Many times at shows you will come across these coins in circulated condition at modest prices.&nbsp; It&#039;s a good way to get your feet wet.&nbsp; Heck, I love circulated commem&#039;s.....<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
