I saw the same thing in a local dealer's shop. When I asked them why they were so expensive, he told me they were "souvineres for tourists" and...
Short term, nobody knows. If they tell you then know, run the other way. Long term, the path of least resistence is up. I don't think the...
I would say that if the coins have scratch marks, you have no chance for a 70.
