It's almost scary how easy this kind of stuff is to look up on the internet.
These would be the Oregon, Cleveland, and Botanic Garden commems. I'll guess
you paid $100 +/- $50. If I win, I'll pass on the prize--the notion of a 10%
cut to the Post Office tells me Mr. Kennedy is better off at your house.

You've nailed the suspects! A 1926 (P) Oregon Trail, the Cleveland Half
Dollar and the Botanic Gardens Uncirculated. But if your 'price is
right' guess is for all three (which is what I'm looking for) than you
are not a winner of this contest, Chris.

Anyway, I spent a little time last night after wrapping Buzz Lightyear
in organizing some of the coins in my collection when I had one of those
strange, random,
I've-been-up-too-long thoughts. If your collection was organized from
lowest mintage to highest mintage for each coin, which piece that you
own would be #1?

I have some Barber Quarters, a few 19th century coins, even a 1798 Large
Cent (1,841,745) ;-) but the three 'smallest mintage' coins I own blow
those away. I'll do this as a contest.

Identify these three official US Legal Tender coins by their mintages:

47,955
50,030
57,272

and guess, within $50, what I paid to acquire the three of them. (Public
responses only, please, no e-mail!)

First correct answer by time-stamp gets as a prize, one of the US coins
that has seen the biggest increase in value since 12/01/03....a 1964
Kennedy Half Dollar, containing .36169 oz of silver. ;-)

'LQQK! RARE!!'

First off, my complaint is that Commemorative coins are not legal tender
coins...

Having said that they a

47,955 = 1926 Oregon Trail Memorial
50,030 = Cleveland Great Lakes Exposition
57,272 = 1997P Botanical Gardens Silver Dollar

Nice group of commems if I do say so myself. Congratz on having them in
your collection.

And the total acquisition price of these three specimens to myself?

C'mon, Man, there's a big ol' chunk of silver waiting for you....

Nope. Your total of $275 is not within $50 of the true cost to myself.

My lowest mintage must be one of the RCC tokens. Which one has the lowest
mintage - the 1st?

CONGRATULATIONS!!!

The Oregon was $112, the Cleveland was $60 (slabbed NGC MS64!) and the
Botanic Gardens in the original packaging was $40 via Ebay. That's $212
total, so your guess puts you only $42 away and that's a winner, Bill!!

I'm amazed the Unc Botanic is still so cheap. ;-)

My lowest mintage is the 1994 Greece commemorative 500 drachmas silver coin
"Centennial of Volleyball 1895-1995" (KM#162) with a mintage of 1750. Today
it is priced at over 200 euros despite what Krause says :-)

Cheep? You better believe it, brother!

A penny saved is a penny earned. ;-) I've only gone past $100 on a coin
three times, that Oregon Trail, a San Diego Commem, and an AU 1909-S
Lincoln. ;-) So far the best purchase I've made was a 1999 Silver Proof
Set for $87. Erin mentions the tremendous margin it now enjoys more
frequently as our anniversary approaches.

I have paid over $100 twice.
Once I paid $240 for a PCGS MS-69 Community Service and
I paid the issue price $205? for the $5 Gold Capital Visitor Center.
Sold the Visitor Center for somewhere between $400 and $500, I forget,
but I still have the Community Service.
