What do you think of the Barack obama inaugural coin

when i first saw the commercial on tv i made the joke to my wife that if it were a John McCain coin it would be sold for $19.95 and not a measly 9.95

Will this thing go down when I flush or will I have to look at repeatedly as I urinate on it?

If you have a coin on a president it should honor his greatest achievements.

 

Chemistry / Math help

Negligible is correct. Not much gold is used. The metal is so malleable it can be produce sheets of gold foil. So, how much gold on these coins? 1/10th of a pennyweight? 1/100 of a penny weight? 1/1000th of a gram? Less? More?

This just says 1st president of the USA.

 

Wow.

 

Google Barack Obama coins and you'll find quite a few. All collector's items I'm sure.

We like these at the shop as it helped us clear out a lot of idle inventory. At least one company will be using the Washington Dollars for these as they posted a buy of $1.20. We had 2900 and shipped them 2800 of them.

Now Illinois quarters are getting hot. Guess what we'll be dumping next.

I wouldn't buy anything that is not official U.S. Mint. Even then I rarely do.
It's a matter of time before people start walking in the door with these expecting good money for them.
As with other "TV bought" items they'll be disappointed.

 

Someone has a bad case of the 'Waaahs' going on I am sure the US mint will do a better job...oh wait...its the US mint...these are probably the best you will get I would wait for the inaugural medal, they all get one of those regardless of what they have done, even G-dub...and they are almost always very well done.

 

I wouldn't consider buying a painted medal, coin or anything commercially sold as an investment.

I figured out the spot price for one of these coins:
8.1 gm total weight
88.5% copper - current value $0.0264
6% zinc - current value $0.000562
3.5% manganese - current value $0.00123
2% nickel - current value $0.00155

Total value - $0.0298

Of course this doesn't count the value of the gold plating or the paint.

 

Good work...

Krik-E!

A dollar is worth 3c? No wonder they want us off paper (plus durability).

 

Yah think?

I certainly don't like them, but HSN is selling them by the thousands. I noticed that SHOPNBC has also started, but don't sell them on their show "Coin Shoppe", but on a show only for presidental stuff. Amazing how many people are buying these. I've seen old Ike buttons for sale on e-bay, but I don't remember what kind of prices they had. But these coins are different, they will be around in the thousands 50 or 60 years from now. I hope buyers aren't buying them because they think they will become a good investment.

 

I can't think of any other reason why they would buy them....

encil:

 

Because Barack obama is the man.
