Props with a capital P!
When did you STOP doing commems? What do you do now?

Although I still appreciate a nice monster Oregon commem, I've developed the conclusion that commems are, in general, over-hyped and over priced novelty coins with minimal historical numismatic substance. Now I'm sure there will be those who wholeheartedly disagree, but I have no interest in toned commems at all. I am venturing into Lincoln wheats, particularly matte proofs and early MS Lincolns.

You can cut the tension in here with a butterknife.

The '39-S is downright mesmerizing!

I love the toning on those coins, and I think that commems, went overpriced and overhyped, are more novelty than substance.

I don't understand this move? There is just no up side to either series.

Is it the loin cloth that makes it mesmerizing?
I walk in the door to a local dealer.
I ask $23,000 for some toned Oregon Trails, one of which has a fingerprint.
The dealer and his entire staff gather around me and start laughing.
They then offer a trade for the three coins.
I quickly agree to the trade and walk out the door with a huge smile on my face and a single Washington "Godless" dollar in my hand.

Thanks John. The top coin is an MPL and the bottom coin is a MS66 RB
