Tonight I bought a 10 coin set of commemoratives that was origonally offered through the american historic society. The set is in a velvet lined box and is called '2 Centuries of Americas Greatest Commemorative Coins' and includes a Washington half dollar, Booker T. Washington half dollar, Columbian Exposition half, Statue of Liberty half, Congressional half, Constitution dollar, Statue of Liberty dollar, and 1983, 84, 88 Olympic dollars. I paid $60 and he even thew in a bunch (13 different states) of P and D colorized state quarters on cardboard cards with state info. Did I get a good deal?

    Yeah the commemoratives are a nice mix and a nice price.

    You should spend the colorized quarters though

    You got a good deal for the price you paid Smitty. Put the colorized coins in the back of your safe and forget about them. You never know. they might be worth $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ someday. image

    Speculation is just that. Might be worth sumtin, might not. If I knew, I'd be a rich man....but I blew it in the stock market, so I just collect for fun. image

    Yea, I mostly wanted the silver Commems. I'll probably keep them for now and eventually unload them on ebay.
