Westen, I collected LE's because I liked them. The financial aspect was never a consideration. In retrospect that was probaby a mistake. Two years ago I decided to downsize not only my collection but a lot of other things I had accumulated. The LE's I managed to sell brought face value. I spent a week in Las Vegas and cashed $18,000 in that was cashable. The rest, Fiesta, Horseshoe, etc. I still have. Not a good investment, but a lot of fun collecting them. Regards, Jim
