<p>[QUOTE=&quot;PeacePeople, post: 664393, member: 20082&quot;]I can and will agree with this to a point.&nbsp; Novelties like these coins might be &quot;hot&quot; at the moment, but there are some issues that arise in common trade, commerce and collecting.&nbsp; a) retailers don&#039;t really like them because cash drawers are not set up to take them, and lets face it take a good look at cashiers at places. b) people are buying rolls and collecting them in roll form they are also putting them in albums in BU form and circulated form and putting them away.&nbsp; c)&nbsp; Collectors are buying them and plan to hold them and get them graded now and at a later date.&nbsp; Those are 3 major points and there are more, but when all is said and done the cirulated coins will be put away, melted, lost and whatever other things happen with them.&nbsp; Collectors of them will be of the serious and non-serious ilk and with that it comes oddities.&nbsp; People die and pass them on to people that don&#039;t care about them and sell them off, or they get stored and found years and decades later, etc.&nbsp; Lastly, even the serious collectors that are looking for the Proof 70&#039;s will tire of the lack of return and store, sell or just move them, so I believe that the only people that will get some type of return on these are at least 4 to 10 generations from now.&nbsp; The good news is you can buy a roll of uncirculated for face value and have an album of awesome specimens that are worth exactly face value, so the investment is just that.&nbsp; The bad news is that in your lifetime your only return will be exactly what you paid for them, minus the holder and if you are lucky you might get the grading fees back plus a small premium, maybe.&nbsp; In the end you are really out nothing and if you like them, does it really make a difference if you are a &quot;collector&quot; in the true sense of the word?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
