Anyone else getting the DC Co.ic Art series coins or medals? I got the Superman amd Wonder Woman but stopping there. I don't think they're an amazing investment or anything, I just want to give them to my kids when they grow up. Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman might do ok, ut I can't imahine that the other 6 will be very successful. Think they'll become rare because no one will want them?
Amazing coin! I'm not into comic coins but your kids will love you like crazy for thinking of them enough to get them both, a gold coin each! Great super Dad move, you did well!
Thanks so much! We made financial sacrifices to get them, so hopefully it all turns out alright. Being a parent is wild. Makes me appreciate mine more!
I personally have zero interest in these (or any coins based on pop culture), but I can see how they'd be appealing for some folks. Particularly in a scenario like you mentioned- to pass on to your kids. I reckon it's a fun way to tuck a little bullion away for them.
That's a nice thing to do for your children and an interesting coin. I only have one pop culture coin and this is it. I bought one of these for my son as he is a Bowie fan, he had no choice being raised by me and taking long road trips with my music playing in the car. On July 3rd 1973 I attended Bowie's final Ziggy Stardust performance at the Hammersmith Odeon in London with my late sister and some friends. I had been introduced to his music by my sister and this performance was , in my mind, the start of my following of this incredible performer who brought the theatre to Rock. We were all stunned when he announced at the end of the concert that he would never be performing again so my start was also my finish, or so I thought. Crowds of people wandered around shell shocked and we missed the last bus home so ended up in trouble. There were no cell phones in those days to call home and we didn't have coins for a phone booth. Needless to say it wasn't the end only the beginning and sharing my interest with my kids is part of our story. Take your kids to the DC movies @TreasureInChange if and when they are old enough and create memories.
Lol! Unfortunately, I don't have anymore kidneys to sell. I almost joked in my video that I was glad I only had 2 kids because I couldn't afford to get another coin but then I removed it because I didn't want my kids to see that one day and feel bad. But you better believe they'll be helping with the chores - I'm putting them to work!
Yeah, tough decision. Bullion is a better investment imho. Pre-1933 gold is cooler historically. It was probably silly of me, but I'm happy to be able to pass them along. I'm hoping it grows into the history aspect. It is the U.S. Mint's first licensing (hopefully last, or very very limited) and they characters have history, especially during WWII.
I love this! Thanks for sharing that incredible story! I'll be listen to Bowie for the next couple of days. He's an artist I should know more about but he was one generation before my time. I'll definitely be watching the DC movies with them when they are a little older. Right now we watch Super Friends, the cartoons only. =)
