As a kid, I remember spending these, and have always wanted a good set.
I think these are perhaps some of the most elegant coins ever designed, and should serve as inspiration for future commems:

I still get the cents in change from time to time, the dollars never circulated except as pocket pieces.

Right--I never saw one of these dollars in change!

When I was in Middle School I remember a friend of mine had one that he carried in his wallet and showed to everyone,until someone beat him up and took it.

That was an elegant set indeed. Something that comes along quite infrequently these days.

Nice set and very nice designs. I have a set of those somewhere in with my proof sets and such.

Those are real nice. That would be an asset to anyone's collection.
