1952 branch mint GWC commems.

Got some to sell me in 64?

I have a good buddy who is looking for these in MS63 (Washington Carvers too), and he hasn't been able to find a single one.

Bingo.

You guys are too smart. I got these last night on Heritage Text plus three 1953 64's for a total of 254.00 delivered--------------BigE

A modern commemorative

I guess they could be considered moderns-------------BigE

BigE-- what are you doing with that MS64 crud? Everyone knows real collectors only buy MS67+ coins.

BigE

But there are no 67's of either date, so I am going to crack these out and maybe get the first one-----------BigE

I bought this one last night on eBay for $43. Ebay number Item number: 8386997339

If you can get them rainbow colored, you may have a shot. Is there a doctor in the house?!

Could it be it is less desirable because it's an African American on the obverse? I have to think this has a great deal to do with it. Opinions???

I don't think so, just look at the 1998-S Crispus Attucks $1 , and the price it goes for compared to other modern comm.

But that's because of low mintage (low *initial* demand). Whether or not that's because a black man is pictured is left as en exercise to the reader to draw their own conclusions. I'd also point to the Jackie Robinson $5 here as another example of low mintage due to low initial demand.

The secondary market sees the low supply, which induces demand. At the time you could order these, that wasn't the case.

Low demand and low mintage doesn't alway mean high value. Example (MS69) Crispus Attucks BU mintage 37,210 value $210; Leif Ericson BU mintage 28,100 value $125; Salt Lake Olympic 35,287 BU mintage 35,287 value $65. Out of the three coins listed, Crispus Attucks is the highest value with the most mintage. Why?

It could be because of remnants of anti-Viking prejudice.
