These prices fluctuate with the supply and demand on the market, and to a certain extent, the increase and decrease of precious metal prices.

Listed in this order, you can see that the coins' values are not necessarily related to their face value or their metal content.

For rare numismatic treasures such as these, their value is a mix of collector interest, coin characteristics, quantity minted, their condition and their precious metal content.

Each of the classic commemorative coins relates to a bit of history both in the subject matter and in the US Mint people who designed and minted the coins.
