TSmith3510 Valued Member United States 455 Posts	Posted 03/04/2007 10:01 pm Eric, My initial reaction when I first viewed images of the coin was the same. It didn't initially appeal to me as much as the Ben Franklin and SF Mint commemorative. I was going to pass on it and wait for something more exciting to come along. Then there was a post here a month or two back, members were sharing their enthusiasm having just received their coins from the mint. Reading their posts forced me to take a second look at the piece, at which time I appreciated the the amount of work and detail that went into the both the obverse and reverse. Both sides of the coin really are amazing works of art. The historical significance of the event being commemorated can't be denied. So the Jamestown Commemorative coins are back on my short list, I'm going to order them when I get my 2007 AGEs. So I guess the moral to the story is, "enthusiasm is contagious." Who knows, maybe you'll take a second look at the coin and decide there's room for one or two in your collection. TS Report this Post to the Staff

I wonder why someone would buy the unc for $245 when the proof is only $255. The thing is that most people feel the same way. So everyone orders the proof, and then in a year or two they discover that the unc is the low mintage piece and it is the one that goes up in value. Look at most of the modern commems. For most of them it is the Unc that is the lower mintage, sometimes much lower, and in most cases it now sells for more money. Report this Post to the Staff
