<p>[QUOTE=&quot;treehugger, post: 1062553, member: 28451&quot;]Okay; I&#039;m a new member and this is my first post. I&#039;ve been enjoying this site for a number of weeks now. Anyway, I just wanted to say I&#039;ve seen pictures of the actual &quot;coins&quot; on ebay and from a visual perspective, they seem pretty uninteresting. I&#039;ll leave the supply/demand/scarcity commments to those more expert than I. Actually, they would more properly be called medallions rather than coins. Also, the words &quot;quarter dollar&quot; on a 5 ounce &quot;coin&quot; is pretty humorous, if not ridiculous. As psyched as I was about the release of these, as I love our national parks and based on the visual appeal of the actual America the Beautiful quarters, I am less so now.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/America-the-Beautiful-5oz-Set-READY-TO-SHIP_W0QQitemZ110627343142QQcategoryZ171521QQcmdZViewItemQQ_trksidZp5197.m7QQ_trkparmsZalgo%3DLVI%26itu%3DUCI%26otn%3D4%26po%3DLVI%26ps%3D63%26clkid%3D5852964943791259384" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://cgi.ebay.com/America-the-Beautiful-5oz-Set-READY-TO-SHIP_W0QQitemZ110627343142QQcategoryZ171521QQcmdZViewItemQQ_trksidZp5197.m7QQ_trkparmsZalgo%3DLVI%26itu%3DUCI%26otn%3D4%26po%3DLVI%26ps%3D63%26clkid%3D5852964943791259384" rel="nofollow">http://cgi.ebay.com/America-the-Beautiful-5oz-Set-READY-TO-SHIP_W0QQitemZ110627343142QQcategoryZ171521QQcmdZViewItemQQ_trksidZp5197.m7QQ_trkparmsZalgo%3DLVI%26itu%3DUCI%26otn%3D4%26po%3DLVI%26ps%3D63%26clkid%3D5852964943791259384</a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Would I like a set at $170.00 per coin? Sure. Would I like a set at ebay prices of $500.00 per coin? No way. If I was going to spend that amount and wanted something big that could actually be called a coin, with &quot;eye appeal&quot; and appreciation potential, I would much rather have a &quot;key date&quot; 5 ounce Libertad. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Anyway, congratulations to all who obtained them at a reasonable price. I hope to do the same sometime in the future.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Happy Holidays![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
