I don't know about the rest of you but seems the Lowball commems that are being offered have really slowed down. I thought that with some of the big shows out of the way that some new material might be hitting the marker.

Yes, I know what you mean. Commem. demand is down right now, but I was disappointed when I found a new, local coin shop is asking high premiums for its ungraded commems. I think many bought high a few years ago when commems were in more demand and now want to recoup what they spent.

As I'm not a collector of circulated commemoratives, I haven't noticed. More large shows are on the near horizon, however, so there'll soon be more opportuities for coins to surface!

Indeed ... the greatest challenge in pursuit of a circulated classic silver commemorative set is market availability ...

Many of these coins are nearly impossible to find in honest circulated condition ... in particular circulated examples from the 'commemorative craze' of 1935 - 1939 are very difficult to come by.

I am pursuing the circulated set ... have a few holes ... and as well have the patience to realize this is a lifetime pursuit while every day enjoying the satisfaction of the hunt.

Agreed with the OP ... not many new coins to pursue in the recent months ... but somewhere out the is the next lowball ... just waiting to find it's new home with us few but dedicated collectors of circulated classic silver commemorative.

Enjoying every minute of the hunt ... in pursuit of a collecting goal that may never be achieved.
