Hoping to get commems interested in a circulated classic silver set ... then he would have a true collection. I think I'll start with a circulated modern set and then work my way back to a circulated classic set. Sound like a plan?  Collecting history one coin or medal at a time! (c) commems.

Yeah, I would doubt you would find very many, if any, circulated modern commems. Unless you are talking about coins like the bicentennial, State Quarters, 2009 quarters, park quarters, etc.? |

It was just a little joke on my part -- I was responding to nicklesearcher's comment about me starting a circulated classic set, something I'm not quite ready to pursue. jbuck/wquinn: I agree, finding circulated modern NCLT commems would be next to impossible.

Who said Commemorative collectors had no sense of humour?  |

Slowest delivery time I've experienced from the Mint in years. Mine was sent on 5-18, received it on Tuesday 5-29. Not a bad looking set at all, although I am looking forward the colorful three-part folder of the SSB set that goes on sale tomorrow.

That seems to be pretty standard now. Carrier pigeon would be faster |
