Mister Population 1 of 1.. I still think that's rather remarkable.. not that
you'd ever sell it.. but what do you suppose it's worth??.. How many other collectors are trying to complete the modern commem set in ANACS MS-69? The value of a coin depends not just on scarcity, but also on how many others are trying to get the same thing. I, too, relish modern commems, but I'm willing to contaminate my collection with those darn PCGS slabs. Regards, Tom |

Regards, Tom Any modern commem that arrives from the Mint in anything less than a MS68 or PF68 grade should be returned for replacement or refund. Beyond that, how many of us can appreciate any significant difference between a MS68 or MS70 enough to pay a hefty premium for it? Anything I have received from the Mint has appeared MS70 to my eyes, and that's good enough to satisfy my taste as a collector. Bruce |

None, as far as I know; which, as you say, severely limits the potential value of the item. Of course, it's absolutely invaluable to me, so I don't really care what the open market thinks of it. If I were to hazard a guess, I would say that it probably would not get as much as a PCGS MS69. The reg set nuts keep those guys' prices high. -- Bob |

Well, with the L&C coins there were 400,000 to be available (after special promotions) and I think divided between uncirculated and proof just based on orders. And there was a $4 difference in price between the uncirculated and the proof... There may have been 400,000 *authorized*, but I doubt they will actually sell that many. With most commems, the Proofs usually end up selling twice as many as the Uncs. Sometimes the difference is dramatic -- compare the prices for the 1997 Jackie Robinson $5, for example. The Proof is around $400 -- just a little over issue price -- while the Unc sells for over $2000. -- Bob |

Well you should consider a combination of demand for the issue with the mintage number...and not just the mintage number alone. |
