welder Pillar of the Community United States 1037 Posts	Posted 09/07/2014 5:12 pm I consider Orphan's as a commemorative coin without its OGP and COA. I do not mind buying orphans as long as I have already have the same item in OGP or slabbed. Plus I usually get a better deal buying an orphan, closer to spot prices. Over the years I have picked up these orphans; 1986 S Statue of Liberty proof 1987 S U.S. Constitution Bicentennial proof 1989 S US Congressional Commemorative proof 1992 P Columbus Quence proof 1994 P Prisoner of War proof 1994 S U.S. Capitol Bi Bicentennial proof Does anyone else have orphans in their collection? Have a great day Report this Post to the Staff

I always liked the design of the 1994 POW dollar--it and the Vietnam are on my wishlist to acquire. -MV Report this Post to the Staff

tkbslc Pillar of the Community United States 1158 Posts	Posted 09/08/2014 3:30 pm I've never really figured that the COA adds any value. It's just a printout anyone could duplicate or find and add to any coin. And I don't really want a stack of cheesy jewelry boxes around my house, anyway. So I actually prefer "orphans". I only have 1986 Liberty and 1991 Rushmore so far, though. Edited by tkbslc 09/08/2014 3:31 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Augiedog Valued Member United States 63 Posts	Posted 09/10/2014 09:10 am Actually, most of my commemoratives are 'orphans'. Many are in slabs....you call these 'orphans'? The other ones I bought just in capsules. When you come right down to it, the box and coa is nice, but is it really worth it? Anyone can open the capsule and switch coins or whatever. Just sayin'...

welder Pillar of the Community United States 1037 Posts	Posted 09/14/2014 09:41 am I would not consider graded slabbed coins as an orphan. The graded label is in lieu of a COA. To be honest, all but 1 of my orphans are ugly. I have a couple with excessive hazing and scratches, maybe a pocket piece, and another that looks like a fire survivor. These are coins that most people wouldn't want. Report this Post to the Staff
