Definitely a good pickup. Quote:
Any grading ideas on the coin? From the images available, it looks like the coin has picked up a few small dings and scratches since it was removed from its original package. It would likely still grade out at the MS-65 level - though it wouldn't be worth it to send such a coin in for third-party grading. Quote:
I don't generally go for the halves due to no silver (other than the Washington) The 1982 Washington is just one of the two 90% silver coins in the modern half-dollar series. The other is the 1993 James Madison/Bill of Rights coin. Collecting history one coin or medal at a time! (c) commems. All rights reserved.

Nice pickup - when these were first issued my wife got me the set for Christmas. I have always liked the design - would be nicer if silver - bit still love the design. Congrats on a good pick-up at a good price.

I'm going to have to jump full into another Dansco album. Yeah, those last second impromptu purchases often lead to bigger, more expensive endeavors. All in all though, a great pickup, and if it leads to buying that Dansco, then an auspicious start to a new set. Congrats. |

Great find!     I would have done the same thing at that price! Been eyeing the two coin set with the dollar, haven't quite found the right one at the right price yet. I love the commemorative series for the flexibility to collect what you're interested in. I didn't bother with the September 11 medal last year and have no plans on a Girl Scout this year. Plenty of great modern commems to keep me busy for years. |

Res, This post caused me to watch some other 86 Statue of Liberty coins on ebay. Since I have the uncirculated, I just picked up the proof for $3.98. Still below pre-issue price, so I'm happy. |

ebay is a great way to get a lot of the non silver commems cheaply if you stay away from the graded ones

I have seen a lot of the non silver commems on the Bay going very cheap. Yesterday I actually stumbled upon a dealer who was selling at very reasonable prices. Not modern, but I bought the 1893 Columbus and a1951s Booker. The Columbus was $12 and Booker was $20. I'm going to get pics of both posted soon as their grading is beyond me. I'm definitely hooked on the commemorate halves now.
