  IMO, it puts something worthless on an already worthless coin. I'm not a plastic collector, so neither the grade or the signature do anything for me.

  Not much, I would think. I don't go in for gimmicks like that.
  
  But I do take issue with commoncents05's comments. Worthless, indeed! This is the coin that reignited the commemorative coin program.

  Thanks, Just wondering since I bought one the other day for $15.00 bucks.
  Guess that was not to bad since I needed one anyway for my Morden crap commemorative set!

  So why is the coin that launched the modern era commemoratives so cheap. Too many produced?

  Yep. Millions of 'em, while a modern commem these days is lucky to top 100,000. But it's a beautiful silver coin, and when you can get a raw one for five or six bucks, a great deal.
