<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Beefer518, post: 3011390, member: 87737&quot;]The commemoratives issued during and before the Great Depression have a good chance of having been spent and heavily circulated. Seeing how the depression lasted until 1939, it&#039;s a good chance that all but the Booker T&#039;s and Wash/Carvers were used regularly. </p><p><br /></p><p>The Booker T&#039;s and W/C&#039;s were under-appreciated, and were sold some years with a minimal premium, so even those are found in circulated condition, as they weren&#039;t really &#039;treasured&#039; by most who had them, especially after the novelty wore off. Even in 1954 (last year of the early commems), 50¢ had decent buying power (about $5 in today&#039;s money), so I can certainly see folks spending them.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
