Did anyone keep track? Could be a sleeper.

Even though I still have a couple of gold ones that I can't sell at cost, I did really well on the halves.

I got two MS70 and one PR70DC which more than made up for the losses on the 69's.

The problem is that it may stay asleep for a very long time.

I think that it will continue to snooze. The "new" commemative half dollars are about as popular as a disease. Have you ever seen an ad from a dealer who offering a complete set of them or a lot of print ads for them? I haven't.

That's not to say that there aren't some good designs in the series. Some of them are very nice. The trouble is all but two of them (the silver 1982 Washington and the Bill of Rights) are made of clad copper-nickel, and the interest just isn't there.

I really like the US Marshall commemorative... I believe mine would make PR70...May

Maybe in 4 years we will know the official mintage? By then will the economy still be chugging along? Will another low mintage pop up due to no one buying except the " low mintage" chasers?



I do sort of like the lady on the Marshalls Half. She has a certain attitude I find to be interesting, a certain dignity that is rarely seen.

This coin has a lower mintage been a lot of the classic commemoratives .. I am collecting for registry set.. I really like them

These are still available for $20 on eBay. This year's national Park half-dollar will be $7 more per coin. Dead aftermarket, high prices, poor design and no interest will probably mean the National Park unc halves will top out at 27,000 unless they actually sell them at the parks themselves.

The 2008 bald eagle halves were a real money maker for me. The design is super important.
