[QUOTE="-jeffB, post: 2572346, member: 27832"]We passed on it because: * The first issue in the series, the Mercury dime commemorative, showed an astonishing lack of detail, more like an original dime struck from extremely worn dies. * Each issue was significantly [I]smaller[/I] than the coin it commemorated, an annoying distraction. * The gold composition, as you say, priced many collectors out entirely.
