Mintage Max

[edit]

Pretty sure the 200,000 limit was for the silver proof. I don't know how to find the mintage limit for coins from 20 years ago. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.90.226.95 (talk) 20:22, 2 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

What is the purpose of giving a commemorative coin a value like "10 dollars" when there is no intent of actually using it as currency? They might as well have stamped "405 DOLLARS" on it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.20.219.41 (talk) 19:30, 22 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It is ten dollars face value because 1/2 oz American gold coins had a value of $10 until they were pulled from circulation in 1933. 1/2 oz gold commemoratives issued since 1984 continue this tradition of a $10 face value. They also use a gold alloy of a fineness of 900 that is the same as the pre-1933 issues. The bimetallic 2000 Library of Congress follows the same pattern even though it is only 1/2 gold by weight.
