<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 990691, member: 66&quot;]A large number of the early commemoratives were purchased by the general public not coin collectors.&nbsp; Many people carried them a pocket piece souviners, and during hard times many were spent.&nbsp; Over the years many of these circulating pieces were probably retired as being &quot;uncurrent&quot; by banks and sent back to the Fed for recoining.&nbsp; If not for that circulated early commems would probably be a lot more common and would probably outnumber the MS pieces.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
