<p>[QUOTE=&quot;stoster38, post: 685336, member: 11827&quot;]I&#039;m trying to understand why Congress, in all their &quot;infinite wisdom&quot;, decided to include a 5 0z coin. First of all if silver stays at it&#039;s current price the precious metal value would be $80-$85. Then you would have the markup from the U.S. Mint so you&#039;re probably looking at a coin that will be over $100 dollars. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Second if the designs on the state quarters are any indication of what we&#039;ll get on the these coins I&#039;d rather not spend that much money on mediocre designs.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Third, we&#039;re in the middle of a recession and I have read news stories saying things are getting better but how many people will have the money to spend on these coins along with the other hundreds of items that the Mint puts out every year.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I have to agree with the Scottishmoney. If I buy a 5 once coin it probably would be a foreign coin and not these coins. Just my opinion of cousre <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
