Does it really matter lol

 

Ya, prices are headed up on ebay.

 

Really? Probably just a short bump due to speculators from the news

 

Hold on to it (like me) and it might be worth something, twenty years from now, when more folks enter into collecting modern commemorative's.

You don't know these, do you? The lowest mintage one sells for around $3,000.

 

It's perfectly OK for people to spend 10x the coin's intrinsic value on them if they wish.

It's equally OK for me to laugh at them derisively because they've no clue whether the test of time will support such an unrealistic demand.

If they're such fantastically-appealing coins, why didn't they mint (and sell, since demand is apparently so high) 100,000 of them?

Yeah, yeah, give it time.

 

Low mintage creates demand.

 

The Mint doesn't care about "demand." They care about selling coins, and it works against their best interests to mint fewer than they can sell. They don't make a cent off the secondary market.

 

Sure, the secondary market is all ours.

 

@statequarterguy
Funny.. you and someone else posted threads a minute apart today.. on the same topic!

 

Go take a look at the former key date (jackie robinson) and tell me the same thing

 

Hmm. A design of a historical major National sports hero and black Americana collectible in the form of civil rights... or a gold slug about national parks.

 

In the future that might mean something. We take for granted, out National Parks.

 

All yours, you mean.

 

Believe me, those that are collecting either of these are not buying them because it has Jackie or national parks. I could throw out this figure if you believed that... about 74 million people attend a MLB game per year, and about 282 million people visit a national park per year.. lol.

 

Yeah but baseball is the national pastime and an American icon. National parks are just a beautiful fun place to visit every so often with the fam.
