[QUOTE="19Lyds, post: 858405, member: 15929"]I think you'll be surprised. As a 6 year scout leader, I can state that very few scouts that take the merit badge today will continue to collect coins or have any interest in this commemorative. For most, it'll be out of their pocket change price range and parents may be very hesitant before sinking $34 or $40 into a single coin which some scouts could misplace or even lose. remember also that the coin collecting merit badge is not required and therefore usually only taken because kids think it will be an easy badge. Not because they have a particular interest in coin collecting. IF there were going to be ANY significant interest, it would have shown up by now and so far, I have not obvserved anythng that would lead me to believe that this is going to happen. The 2009 DDR Lincolns had more interest after two weeks. My position will be to advise caution before investing any significant amounts or in any significant quantities of these. It could very well be several generations before any returns can be made.[/QUOTE]
