<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chumpchange, post: 857435, member: 22927&quot;]I can imagine how some scouts may show interest in owning a coin like this commemorative, but I think showing interest is not a guarantee that 1. they will buy the coin or 2. that they will be willing to pay a premium for the coin.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>After only a few minutes with my Red Book I can find a bunch of commemoratives that do not carry any siginificant premium despite what should be their perceived non-coin collector appeal.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>For instance:</p><p>1995 Civil War Battefield should appeal to Civil War buffs</p><p>1995 Special Olympics Silver dollar should appeal to anyone who has a special child</p><p>2003 First Flight Centennial should appeal to amateur pilots and flight-enthusiasts</p><p>2005 Chief Justice John Marshall should appeal to lawyers &amp; constitutional scholars</p><p>2005 Marine Corps 230th Anniversary- wouldn&#039;t every marine want one?</p><p>1993/94 Thomas Jefferson- wouldn&#039;t Jefferson collectors (including nickel collectors) want one?</p><p>Not to mention the Korea War vets, the USO coin, the WWII coins...</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Yet none of the above coins sell for significant premiums in average conditions (at least according to my Red Book).</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I don&#039;t make money dealing in coins, for me it is a hobby and I could very well be wrong, but I know that *I* can&#039;t guess what is popular enough to draw a premium and what isn&#039;t based on the evidence above.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>edit: I do realize the coins above may have sold at a premium at one time, so part of the game of flipping is timing in addition to figuring out which ones will garner that premium at some point in time...so yeah, good luck with that.&nbsp; Not my cup of tea.&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
