As a general rule, most US Mint products have fallen below their original price, since they put on a pretty big mark up. Like most of their proof and uncirculated sets.
And for commems, there is a surcharge added (usually $10 for silver and $35 for gold), that goes to the purpose of the commen, on what it is celebrating. Like a fund raiser for that particular party. So in the secondary market, that amount gets absorbed and drops in price. Unless the mintage is really low, they mostly are selling for bullion, except for the 2001 Bison, since those are in such very high demand.
And generally, if isn't "really welcomed", then the mintage will be really low and the price will increase on it over time.
