OK, i know it sounds wierd, but PM with any you might have and want to get rid of. Grade isn't really important and i'd be happy to pay grey sheet price for them. Thanks.

for sale I have more at PCGS being graded or looked at for regrade:
The one I have is a PCGS MS65 MAINE CENTENNIAL. The coin is beginning to lose its original mint luster and is I believe beginning to
develop a bronze tone similar to a 1920 Pilgrim I bought in the same lot. The Pilgrim is being examined for regrade at PCGS now.
It is mostly free from carbon toning (a problem with older commens) except for a spec here and there and a bit of rim carbon toning
between 3 and 6 O'clock. I would send you a scan, but I have been told that scans make the coin look bright shinny silver and I
wouldnt mislead you.
Greysheet BID is 410 and ASK is 450. I will sell it for 430 and pick up insured shipping.
Let me know what you think. I take Cashier checks, money orders or Paypal (if the buyer adds the 3 % fee) which in
this case would be 12.00 dollars.
I also offer a 5 day refund policy, if you dont like it, ship it back to me in the same shape you got it and I will
refund your money less PAYPAL fees.

thanks for the offer, but at this time i need to save my pennies
i'll explain my interest in circs, though. i've always seen them from time to time, at a club auction or occasionally in a dealers showcase, and i generally gave them only a passing glance. recently, it's intrigued me as to why they would end up being spent and how long they would stay in circulation before a collector saw them or somebody else considered them a curiosity and saved them. considering that the bulk of commems were struck between 1920-1938 if we don't consider BTW's, it's a little easier to understand why they were used. during hard times in the 30's and in the war years, i guess 50 cents more in the pot made a diiference.
so i decided from a historical interest point of view to see what's out there and put together a group. it won't break the bank and it won't pay off the mortgage down the road, but it should speak volumes to my active imagination about how the previous generations tried to make ends meet during some tuff times.

about. I never really looked at them before but since you brought up this interesting aspect I think I will take some time to look
at them next time. Allen
Another thing to consider is that if the mint (or a bank) was stuck with a large leftover population of these commems, they would get put into circulation as opposed to melting and restamping them. I can't remember which reference book I read that in, Swiatek/Breen maybe.
