<p>[QUOTE=&quot;halfdfanboy, post: 858693, member: 24566&quot;]Being an Eagle Scout myself, and a scout leader for years, I&#039;d like to point out something.&nbsp; Just beause there is a coin collecting merit badge is not going to effect the price of the coin.&nbsp; There&#039;s a swiming merit bage but that&#039;s not getting people to build more pools.&nbsp; There&#039;s a camping merit bage but that&#039;s not moving thousnds of coleman tents.&nbsp; So don&#039;t count on the fact that just because their&#039;s a hobby related badge is going to rise the coin value.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>That said... I do think the coin will hold value given the Scouting movement and people willing to acquire them in the aftermarket.&nbsp; However, while it could appericate in value, I not putting my own money on it.&nbsp; I bought a proof and a unc for my personal collection.&nbsp; No intentions of buying more to deal in them or try and make a buck.&nbsp; If somebody can make a buck buying them and selling them later, best wishes too you.&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I&#039;ve made some money in coins, only when I bought something for the right price and know I could turn around and sell it for more.&nbsp; That&#039;s easy money.&nbsp; Buying coins from the Mint the same as everybody else can and just hoping they rise, well good luck to you.&nbsp; But it&#039;s not for me.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
