Just out of curiosity, I was wondering how much are these coins worth, if anything more than their face value?   04-27-2009, 07:20 PM   #2 (permalink) covert coins Coin Hoarder   Join Date: May 2008 Location: UP of Michigan Posts: 791 My Mood: I wouldn't think so unless they are in a proof set or something similar. I see them in circulation all the time.   04-29-2009, 05:16 PM   #3 (permalink) Aslanmia Coin Hoarder     Join Date: Jan 2008 Location: Newfoundland, Canada Posts: 963 The mintage s fairly high on these, so it's only worth face right now. That said however, the pink wears off those ribbons fairly quickly in circulation (same goes for the red poppies and other colored designs), so who knows how much an uncirculated, full color version will be worth in the future.   04-29-2009, 10:37 PM   #4 (permalink) scorpio4frenz Budding Numismatist   Join Date: Mar 2009 Location: Baton Rouge, Louisiana Posts: 114 My Mood: Thanks for your feedback guys.   04-30-2009, 09:52 AM   #5 (permalink) scorpio4frenz Budding Numismatist   Join Date: Mar 2009 Location: Baton Rouge, Louisiana Posts: 114 My Mood: Quote: Originally Posted by Aslanmia The mintage s fairly high on these, so it's only worth face right now.

I didn't know that the color wears off that easy. I bought the coins solely due to their uniqueness, and because they are quite different from the circulation coins here in the US. Keeping my fingers crossed for their value in the future!   05-02-2009, 03:30 PM   #6 (permalink) sonlarson World Silver Collector     Join Date: Aug 2008 Location: Texas Posts: 157 Last year I bought 2 uncirculated rolls of the Pink Ribbons at $14 each. I put them in 2X2 flips. I used them to raise $ for my Company's annual campaing to raise money for Breast cancer Awareness. I sold several for $5 each, some for $10 each, and even got a $20 donation from my main coin dealer. Raised over $500 for a $28 investment, which i donated. I believe MS63 is worth about $12.   Bookmarks Digg del.icio.us StumbleUpon Google Tags canada, pink ribbon, poppy, quarter Would you like to support CoinTalk? Coin Talk Code of Honor 1.
