Popular Post J P M Posted September 2, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted September 2, 2021 I have been thinking about alternative collectable coins other than Morgan's and ASE's and decided to get a commemorative. Not wanting to spend a big chunk of money for a set starter coin I have been looking around and found that some Washington -Carver pieces were at a reasonable priced $50 to $60 but most were all beat up or toned out and not to good looking. So I took a chance and bid $43 on this coin site unseen and being told it was very nice. I am very pleased with what I got this coin is like new and so is the holder it is in.

Mr.Bill347 Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 (edited) JP, great minds think alike. I just bought a 1993 Thomas Jefferson proof and this week bought a 1994 USCapital commem. Advertised as a 2001 for $25 Edited September 2, 2021 by Mr.Bill347 J P M 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fenntucky Mike Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 Very nice! U.S. commemoratives (1892 - 1954), according to some, are undervalued and could potentially see a significant increase in the future. I collect them because I like them. I think you did pretty good at $43. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JT2 Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 If you start looking into the early commems there are some very lovely ones and very affordable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That might be a good question for a new thread. Lots of variables and lots of opinions 🤓🙀. Welcome aboard. JWRingo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RWB Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 WC halves are fully equal to Iowa, S.Carolina, and BTW as the ugliest pieces of metal ever struck by the US Mint. All were treated with numismatic contempt when produced and finding just one coin largely free of marks is an accomplishment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has to be the most writing on a coin I have ever seen and yes they are always marked up or toned out ,but this one is really clean Edited September 2, 2021 by J P Mashoke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
