European Stars And Stripes (Newspaper) - November 18, 1973, Darmstadt, Hesse                                . Commemorative coins Coin collectors Corner a by de Cloutier bout four years ago had a Chance to invest about $4, 000 in a Complete set of unite states commemorative coins. The 48-piece collection was i Brilliant uncirculated condition and with the addition of mint Mark varieties the series adds up to 142 coins. Except for couple of pieces they consisted of half dollars. Today that Samoset would Cost me More than double that amount. Of course atthe time i knew it was a Good investment but not that Good. Suppose you have to miss a few like that in order to get the Mes Sage the next time. I remember one Coin in partic ular it was the hawaiian sesquicentennial Selling for $400. Because of the Low mintage of Only 9,958 pieces the Coin was minted to help pay for the Cele bration in 1928, and was sold at that  $2. The theme of the Coin was the 150th anniversary of the rediscovery of the hawaiian islands by Captain James Cook in 1778. Today in the latest Price list october this Coin Sells for $975. That s one example of the jump in value of these coins in just four Short years. The United states can be very proud of their commemorative Silver coins which Are among the finest in the world and much sought after. Commemorative half dollars were struck to commemorate special events or to help finance historical monuments of persons places or things. The unsold coins were usually returned to the mint and melted. In a few in stances they were placed into circulation and sold at face value. It s surprising to me that about 90 per cent of the non col lectors of America never heard of our commemorative coinage. The last one was struck in 1954, and with the coming of our coun try s 200th birthday in 1976, you will see three new ones the half Dollar the Quarter and the dime. When these Are put up for Sale starting in 1975, 1976 and 1977, i highly recommend you buy All you can afford As their value will go sky High Over the coming years. After Allie will be a Long time until our 300th birthday. The commemorative half Dol Lars Are just that half dollars. They Are not medals or souvenir pieces struck for a certain event but Are Good american Silver half dollars and May be spent As such which would be close to total insanity to pick out just two or three of these Beautiful coins to illustrate this column was indeed very difficult because they Are All sonic but i have selected four of my favorite pieces and i thin that you will agree they Are really Nice.
