[QUOTE="Mr.MonkeySwag96, post: 8324536, member: 100951"]When people do collect the classic commemoratives, they only get one of each type to complete the 50 piece set. Some types such as the Texas Centennial were minted within a span of several years (1934-1938) I own a 1936-D, which is one of the lower mintage years. Only 9,000 were produced by the Denver mint in 1936. As I said earlier, people generally only collect the commems by type. A 1934-P has a much larger mintage of 60,000+, yet sells for around the same price as my 1936-D.
