Message:: [QUOTE="krispy, post: 859849, member: 19065"]I agree they will hold only a certain premium for a niche market like the one that exists for the gold First Spouse coins. I have been speculating that these will retail upon release for approx. $150. The starting price and unfamiliar format alone will limit the collector interest. Coin collectors are wary of anything 'new', just look at the size complaints leveled by collectors against the 2009 UHR despite it's design and production beauty! "It's too small... it's too thick..." but it was still a St Gaudens inspired design and an ounce of gold! The 5 oz. silver parks quarter will see its share of neglect I suspect and a niche market will follow. Many non-collectors of these bigger ticket items will consider them bullion and high TPG graded examples, if there's a holder big enough and that shows edges of the coin, out there to hold them, will be where the premium lies for the collector of these.[/QUOTE]
