OK Bought My 3RD Commemorative Dollar, Which Others Are Good

I'd love to buy the lot but can't afford to all at once. Heck you could get 2 more on Monday but I am going to get a gorgeous au58 Standing Liberty quarter instead. I am doing this set and a type set right now.

Did you ask what they would take for the whole lot at once?

With the prices theyre asking I cant say I'm that surprised they wont take any less, a dollar is a little silly but they are selling them below what everyone else is

Ok I was in the coin store today getting a Standing Liberty quarter for my type set a gorgeous 1929 in AU 58. And I was telling her I was starting to build a commemorative dollar set and she goes in the back and brings me out a whole bunch to choose from and set aside. Heck I don't even remember all I had her set me aside to buy I do remember a Lincoln, a Jamestown, a 2002 SLC Olympics but there was more. I guess they get a ton of them in and there is no demand for them really so they send them off to another dealer that buys them off them so they don't even bother to put them out for display.

LOL Man my type set is never going to get finished at this rate she is holding 6 of them for me there is another 10 or so at the pawn shop and I spent like $40 starting a Sacagawea set today (that 2012 Sacagawea is so gorgeous it got me wanting to a set of them plus I always like the coin) granted most of it was spent on getting the Dansco album for it which cost me $25. I still want to get a Dansco or a Whitman album for the completed P & D Statehood Quarter set my mom put together for me for a birthday present that is in a Harris folder and I am thinking of doing the National Parks quarters now which would requite another album.

So many things haha I was trying not do a lot of sets, I guess the Sacagawea set really isn't that hard as I am only doing the P & D and decided not to do the proofs its just 2 coins a year but I am missing 19 coins of the 26 right now.

Yea I guess its what they have the demand for, I am gathering those at the pawn shop have sat for awhile too, most people must just collect them as bullion in my town. I think they are gorgeous coins and worth doing a set of plus you always have the silver value to fall back on.

Granted I am in love with that AU-58 SLQ that I bought today more than any of the commemoratives I have bought but still they are so much fun to collect.

Yea the coin shop has a few that are above melt but thats it (a jackie robinson and a couple other) but everything I have seen so far is just a little above melt makes doing the set so much easier. They do have a few slabbed ones in the cases too but I have never owned a slabbed coin haha been tempted to buy one just so I could own a slabbed coin there is an auction on ebay from an estate sale that you get two slabbed coins randomly picked for like $20 I figure what the heck even if I get something common would still be fun and cheap.

I don't think they are all silver or even very many are silver. I think you would likely get say a Jefferson nickel or a Memorial cent.

Oh if they were commems I would have bought every single one out for that price, he doesn't say exactly what you will get just that its an estate sell and you will get two slabbed coins pulled from a box. Hey you might get lucky and get something good more likely than not you will get something common like a Memorial cent or a Roosevelt dime but still a cool cheap way to get your first slabbed coins.
