<p>[QUOTE="Neal, post: 3208649, member: 43872"]Will they give you your cash back? </p><p>As for whether you want it back or not depends on what kind of a gambler you are. If you bought them for the silver value, you will never come out even close in real terms. If you bought them because you love DC comics, you have your gain in hand in the form of the "coins." If you bought it because you believe the rarity will make the value go up, good luck: you just bought lottery tickets. Rarity does not make anything valuable. Demand in excess of availability does. So if, in the future, there are thousands of relatively rich DC comics fans wanting these, they will be worth a lot. Think of all the people who pay high prices for old Coca Cola memorabilia.

I researched it and it probably was. A U.S. regular issue dime that was unique would bring millions. This coin only sold for $500 because few people care to collect minor coins from small African countries.
