Hi GreeN:   Thanks for posting the beautiful 1927 Vermont Sesquitl.,   I have few questions.  If this is not a trouble to you, please reply.
Are you keeping them in 2 x 2 Holders or Capsules?
or
will you slab them??
I am also collecting 50-cent commemoratives.   Recently, I got in trade Stone Mountain, 1921-Pilgrim Tercenty., which has a mintage of 20,053 only.
According to my Red Book (2008) the coin is worth $180 in AU
Why Commemorative 50-Cents are low in value when you compare them with1-Abraham Lincoln Cents??
50-cents are in silver.    1-cents are in copper.
When you compare the Price of these coins, Lincoln cents are more costlier than the silver commemoratives??
Is it due to demand??   I have asked this question with several Friends.   But, not satisfied with their reply

Good day to you George.  That vermont sesequicentennial is slabbed by NGC in ms62 condition.  When I picked the coin up I had the belief that it could grade a little higher (not that I'm gonna crack it out ).  You know the old saying....buy the coin, not the slab.  I've only recently started collecting "classic commem's" and I buy most already holdered, however, I do own a few raw pieces and keep them in 2x2's.

The reason you're seeing a price reduction in the commem market place is because that market is a little flat at the moment.  Great opportunity to pick up some bargains!  I've recently won a few on Hertitage Auctions and at very reasonable prices.
