<p>[QUOTE=&quot;fatima, post: 1014357, member: 22143&quot;]No doubt the FC series is a collector&#039;s coin and not intended for bullion investors as Eagles and Buffalos are intended to be.&nbsp; There is a dedicated group of people who do collect this series and some of the coins have had some very major appreciation in prices once the mint took them off the market.&nbsp; &nbsp; Go look at the prices of the Julia Tyler coin, which I consider an exceptionally good looking coin in this series, to see what I am talking about.&nbsp;&nbsp; A few months ago you could have had this coin for just a little over $700 from the mint. </p><p><br /></p><p>Remember, and some in this topic seem to miss this, numismatic value is highly dependent upon a coin NOT selling in great numbers.&nbsp;&nbsp; For bullion investors, sales are irrelevant.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>On the more broad question, I think the Mint&#039;s biggest failing with modern designs is they tend to be too literal and they pick them by committee which is never a good thing.&nbsp;&nbsp; The current director has even admitted to this, but so maybe this is part of the reason why they are going with the Mercury head for this coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
