The early commemoratives were quite popular and that led the mint and congress to overproduce them to the point of silliness. That&#039;s why they finally stopped them completely for quite a few years. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>They finally got around to starting them again with the moderns, but it&#039;s getting to the point of too many for too many things again and one of these days, it wouldn&#039;t surprise me to see them stop them again - for a while.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Bowers has a great book out - the experts guide to collecting and investing in coins that talks in depth about cycles in coin collecting - times when some things are hot and others are not. He is of the camp that says to buy things when they are NOT hot. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>For example, there is something of a fad about super graded slabbed new coins - PF and MS 70&#039;s - geez, do you really want to pay the premium on these when you can get a great PF 67-67 or MS 65-66 for pennies?</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>just some ramblings,</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>rono[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
