snowman Pillar of the Community United States 1840 Posts	Posted 04/14/2008 7:10 pm I'm still logging and filing a world coin lot that I bought last week and came across this: I was unimpressed until I looked up it's KM number and saw it was valued at $50 in fine condition(yeah I know this coin is in good condition at best). Krause says there was 15,000,000 minted. Does anybody know what makes this coin so valuable? Report this Post to the Staff

Mr Finger Valued Member United States 405 Posts	Posted 04/14/2008 7:49 pm You know,That is a very good question....I have seen many many coins with high mintages,that are quoted as more than twice as valuable as the same type of coin with a lower mintage....Make no sense to me unless maybe the higher minted coin was melted down or recalled for some reason!!

I suspect most of the Republic 50 fillers were still sitting in the vaults awaiting distribution when the government changed and the new government withdrew the old coinage. I suspect, but I don't know. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S.
