I don't think it will appreciate much.

Sure, the mintage will be low but thats because there is no demand. Demand drives up prices. This will linger at issue price for decades.

Talking On the lighter side...

On the lighter side - that image of the proof on the first page of this thread kinda makes Mr. Braille look a little "Howdy Doodyish", ya think?

You should have seen the artist sketch a few months before it was released. Mr. Braile looked under the influence! I'm glad someone noticed before it hit production.

I'll pass, ugly design. It might have a low mintage were the mint is trying to keep up with the silver eagle for bullion demand. But in the end, if no one likes the design who is going to buy it in the future.

this braille silver total maximum mintage is only 400,000. 25,000 pc set aside for a special set.
it should be better than the lincoln dollar. which did not sell out.

It certainly is not much on an aesthetic level. It seems that they could have come up with a much more attractive design. I'll see in a few months, I may pick up an unc.
The perspective on the table does not match the bookshelf.
