<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Troodon, post: 322826, member: 4626&quot;]They are minting 50,000 more of this medal (hate to nitpick, but it&#039;s a medal, not a coin) for the sake of the coin and medal set, but these have been minted since 2003 and have no set mintage limit; the Mint can continue to mint more of these as demanded.&nbsp; The 50,000 refers to how many coin and medal packages they&#039;re putting together, not necessarily the mintage of the individual medal.&nbsp; So the medal itself won&#039;t be the key to anything....</p><p><br /></p><p>The medals the Mint produces aren&#039;t likely to go up much in value because the demand is so low, and even if demand picks up, since they have no set mintage limit, the Mint can just produce more practically indefinitely until it&#039;s no longer demanded.&nbsp;&nbsp; (Medals are almost never dated so it&#039;s difficult, sometimes impossible, to tell if it&#039;s a first run medal or a later restrike.)&nbsp; So if you&#039;re looking investment potential, I&#039;d forget about the medal.</p><p><br /></p><p>The coin and medal set though may go up in value if it&#039;s heavily demanded... wouldn&#039;t bet on it, but sets like this in original packaging get rarer the older it gets... however modern packages like this are unlikey to appreciate significantly during the lifetime of anyone here.&nbsp; Maybe in a genration or two.</p><p><br /></p><p>It is still a nice looking medal though and if you want to collect it just for its own sake, go for it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
