<p>[QUOTE=&quot;krispy, post: 1703519, member: 19065&quot;]A great old thread! With hilarious commentary and the famed, now extant, Elaine! LOL! </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;I rallied for this coin for a long time. Many ignored it and lots of people said it would be a looser, a bullion coin ready for the melt pots, but it has boomed!&nbsp; I bought mine late in the year and paid the higher retail price then, but have never minded that. It&#039;s a beautiful coin that I place in my top 20 list. I keep mine in OGP and haven&#039;t had a chance to buy another graded one before the prices shot up. Like Ken, mine will stay with me and free of a slab. I don&#039;t see much reducing the value of coins like this, the sort of &quot;one of a kind&quot; pieces from the Mint. Sort of like the bi-metallic commemorative Library of Congress coin. Those hold a strong numismatic premium where other commems and special collectibles fall off over time. </p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks for bumping the thread! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
