It’s funny. I was just looking through some proof sets that I have today and found one of the constitution dollars. Pretty cool coin.

Glad to know you have one! Way back when Lee Iacocca was leading the effort to referbish the Statue of Liberty, KT sent in a financial contribution to that effort. And the US Mint issued a two proof set of silver and gold coins with the Statue of Liberty on them, and KT was lucky enough pick up a set. That was when gold was only a few hundred $$$ per ounce!

Thanks, davidhyde! One just knew this had to happen as they cannot produce for less than the value on these specialty coins. The US Mint is charged to be at least neutral in cost, and the production of pennies and nickels at below material costs is putting considerable stress on their economics.
