<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jim Dale, post: 24481306, member: 100459&quot;]I didn&#039;t either.&nbsp; Anyway, VE-Day was May 8, 1945.&nbsp; Couldn&#039;t they have made 581945?&nbsp; I didn&#039;t see many for sale.&nbsp;&nbsp; I did see a couple for about 15K-16K. The silver coin blew my monthly budget.&nbsp; It sold for $83 at the Mint.</p><p>I think they should have thought a little bit longer about only making 1,945 Gold Coins.&nbsp; I didn&#039;t even see it until it was sold out.&nbsp; Let&#039;s see:&nbsp; They made 1,945 and sold them for $83 each for a total of $161,435.&nbsp; Do you think the cost to develop, produce, package and distribute the coins was enough to support that coin, let alone the cost of gold at that time.&nbsp; I wonder what the cost of gold was at the time the coin was sold...&nbsp; I&#039;m a retired accountant, and I can&#039;t see how the coin could make any money.&nbsp; I haven&#039;t been counting beans for a while, but I still bet they lost money on that coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
