  I bought a single MS. It arrived today appearing as though it had been hit by a truck. This was the single worst modern mint product I have ever received. You have to wonder what sort of quality control standards are in play. Sending back for a replacement hoping for better results.

  The constituency that buys commemorates as commems (and not for flipping) isn't always willing to absorb the mintage. It's jumping to conclusions based on a single sales report, but unfortunately, if the club hasn't done a good job informing the membership and getting THEM to buy, they risk another Girl Scout fiasco...

  Silver isn't bad, clad is disturbing and the gold not so much.

  Year old news. PS. I do like the designs, but I do not collect commems.

  Really can't believe they did a gold for Boys Town. Predicting a new modern key!

  There's an interesting likeness between the Lion's Club and Boys Town half eagle commems.

  I'll buy one if it looks like the mintage will be under 2000, otherwise I'll stick with the First Spouse series . . .
