    Let's be overly aggressive and say spot silver is $20/oz. Obviously not even close, but just for ha ha's. That would mean these coins should sell for $50. 100% markup ($99.99) is outrageous. Again, that's only if spot was $20. In actuality with spot at $17/oz the markup is 135%.

    I'll defer my allotment to anyone who wants it.

    Is this a coin or a medal?? Whatever, really doesn't matter I don't like it anywhere enough to pay $100 for it.
    Maybe I'd do the gold coin if the price were right, but honestly if the silver is a medal and not a coin it's way way way overpriced and would be a big time loser in the short and long haul.

    The gold has a mintage limit of 50,000. That’s half of the 2017 version. Mint figures say only 30,000 of those have been sold — and it is still available on the Mint site. Guess they learned something.

    U.G.L.Y., you ain’t got no alibi, you ugly.

    Looks like a $10 Indian and a Peace dollar got mixed up in the transporter and things went downhill from there. She has that weird new Jefferson nickel eye, too.

    I almost like the Screaming For Vengeance eagle on the reverse. Looks better on the gold coin, though.

    On second thought; I'm not going to buy it because I don't collect medals. Coins are my hobby and I don't want to start another field.

    It is a medal. The gold version is a coin with a $100 denomination. The silver has no denomination and is NOT legal tender.

    It’s not a valid argument to use bullion spot prices for this medal. It’s definitely not a bullion piece. If you’re going to buy this medal it’s as a collector. Plus US Mint premiums are always high so that’s not a surprise.

    Any idea what the diameter is on this medal?

    I'm not a big fan of the design.

    Regarding the denomination, why is this twice that of an AGE, and why aren’t the denominations on our coins more up to date? I propose that a Gold Eagle carries a $1,000 denomination, and an ASE at least $10.

    Because that was the way they decided to make it. Since they are NCLT (Non-Circulated Legal Tender) it really doesn't matter what denomination they put on them as long as it is low enough that the coins won't circulate. One oz ASE is $1, and the 5 oz hockey pucks are $0.25.

    Yep. The 1oz AGEs are $50, the 1/2oz is $25, the 1/10oz is $5, and the 1/4oz is... $10. And the gold commems, containing just under 1/4oz AGW, are $5. When receiving change, always demand pre-1933, or modern $5 commems. Or, best of all, First Spouse gold, with a full half-ounce of gold and $5 face value. :rolleyes:

    Actually, what am I thinking? Demand 2014 Kennedy gold commems, 3/4oz of .9999 fine gold with a face value of 50 cents! (I wonder if anybody's yet managed to cash one of those in at a bank for face value...)

    And the 2003 gold commemorative that had just under 1/2 of gold and a face value of $10.

    I bought one. It is over priced, but I want to keep my collection intact. I have one of each of the 2016 from the different mints, the 2017 single medal and the 4 medal set, and now this one.

    Could the model for the coin be this lady?

    No problem. Can’t wait to see how it looks in person.

    After the 2017 medal - which I like a lot - I had high hopes for this. Reverse isn't bad but the only word for the obverse is embarrassing. Looks like a silver round produced by a not too competent private mint. But to each his/her own.
