<p>[QUOTE=&quot;sturmgrenadier, post: 860175, member: 18711&quot;]In another category collectors are watching closely, total sales of the <b>2010 Boy Scouts of America Centennial Silver Dollars</b> reached 290,392. The proofs advanced another 16,424 to 196,400 and the uncirculated added 7,451 to 93,992. This is put out today<p style="text-align: left"><span style="color: #000000"></span></p> <p style="text-align: left"><span style="color: #000000">Read more: <a href="http://www.cointalk.com/t99463-7/#post860106#ixzz0l1Ai6brd" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.cointalk.com/t99463-7/#post860106#ixzz0l1Ai6brd">http://www.cointalk.com/t99463-7/#post860106#ixzz0l1Ai6brd</a></span></p> <p style="text-align: left"><span style="color: #000000"><br /></span></p> <p style="text-align: left"><span style="color: #000000">Thanks for the info. Bad news for me and others who bought a lot of these coins (I&#039;m into them for 40). More and more, I am thinking that Mr. Krispy&#039;s reasoned and well-articulated commentary is about on the mark. In a nutshell, these coins just haven&#039;t sold quickly enough, and demand is unlikely to rise substantially in the future. I just don&#039;t see kids or their adult relatives/friends shelling out more than about $50.00 for a scout-themed coin. There are so many other meaningful gifts that can be given for said amount or even less. It was crazy for me to think that these could sell for three digit prices. The fundamentals just aren&#039;t there.&nbsp; </span></p> <p style="text-align: left"><span style="color: #000000"><br /></span></p> <p style="text-align: left"><span style="color: #000000">I guess I didn&#039;t think this through enough. So what about it?-am I the only one having reservations/buyer&#039;s remorse? It&#039;s so unlike me to invest in coins. I really am a collector first and foremost. Heck, for $1,400.00, I could have bought another nice classic commemorative or two. I guess I got swept up in the mania<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie3" alt=":(" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> At 36 years of age, one should know better. Hopefully, this is a lesson (albeit an expensive one) I will remember and apply to other decisions I make going forward. How&#039;s that for trying to take a positive away from a disastrous choice?&nbsp;&nbsp; </span></p> <p style="text-align: left"><span style="color: #000000"><br /></span></p><p>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
