Actually the UNC coin does have a higher value than the proof although not as much as I would have thought given the mintage for the UNC is a LOT lower than for the proof. I bought the proof 2 coin set because I am working on completing the Modern proof set, then I can work on the UNC, which have a higher cost involved.

I had to resist adding any UNC on my x-mas wish list as I really need to finish my proof dollar set first. I almost have all the proof $.50 and I am half way through the proof dollars.
As a side note, as I have researched the Modern Commemoratives I have concluded that I think a lot of them are way under valued right now. Most you can pick up for $40 or less.

Let's hope you're right on the undervalue Coinut. On the other hand, I love my set and it's not going anywhere..

Mine are not going anywhere either and I am trying to complete my sets as quickly as possible before they start going up. Considering there are 24 coins with mintage's under 50,000 and most are under $100 that seems like a steal. There is a good article on Numismaster.com http://www.numismaster.com/ta/numis...icleId=15553 on this. Lol, you'd think I sold commemoratives the way I seem to be pushing them but I do not think they get the respect they deserve. |

Way to go paleoguy! I'm a few years off from that milestone. Been working on my ASE set and my Modern Commemorative set, which ever comes along at my dealer as a good deal at the time. Lately it's been the ASE's but I did snag the Proof 2 coin Lief Erickson set a few weeks ago for $80. |

Nicklesearcher and paleoldguy45 are the two collectors who are the furthest advanced on commemoratives on this sight. PG you have a strong candle to NS, my flame is only a match!

I agree with Muddler. It is a major accomplishment! I have figured I still have years to go to complete both the modern and Classic sets as I average about one coin a month,however I think I have done some justice to getting these complete as I have only been seriously collecting for about 2 years now.

I like both reverses of these coins. If I had to make a choice I'd pick the Viking ship. Classic!
