$95 seems rather pricey for a 1oz silver coin with an orange stripe. I thought the same, so I ordered the clad half since it seemed more colorized. What I don't get is the price differential between the colorized and the non-colorized. The difference between the half clads (55 vs 42) isn't that much but the silver dollar is a lot more (95 vs 74 or 69 depending on when you purchased), and for less colorization!! |

I guess the colorization company, LulaRose, ain't cheap...  |

Yeah I couldn't bring myself to buy both especially when there's other stuff later this year that I want.

I'm keeping my proof commemorative set complete with traditional proofs, no pricey colorized issues for me unless it is a completely different design.

If the prices weren't exorbitant, I'd be a player on one of the colorized coins. As it stands, though, the Mint is slowly but surely pricing me out of modern commemoratives.  |

Their two most recent price hikes have made it to where I really consider whether I want a certain release or just wait for the price to come down on the secondary market. |

These are the Aug30 sales figures:
20CN 2020 BASKETBALL HALL OF FAME - SILVER COLORIZED CURVED COIN 17748
20CP 2020 BASKETBALL HALL OF FAME - CLAD COLORIZED CURVED COIN 21039
Pretty dismal I would say.

I got my colorized silver dollar today. Looking at the pics above, I'm glad I didn't get the half dollar.
And once again, no ribbon to aid removal.

I got my colorized half dollar today. I got one of the signed COA's by the mint director. It was numbered between 250 and 300. I wonder how many there actually are. Did anyone else get one signed?
