Commemoratives can be tricky propositions. Lots of variables come in to play, as GK posted above check the completed auctions on gb (that'll show what they actually sold for as compared to the asking prices). Typically it takes a very specialized collector to go after most of them. I had the hardest time unloading a S&W 29 Elmer Keith because I was in to it too high. Eventually I was able to get my money out of it but perhaps I should've just stuck it in a holster and shot it for those few years. Good luck going down that road and hope it works out for you. Lever guns are tons of fun.
