<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Danr, post: 1337589, member: 3715&quot;]my case for the coin:</p><p>the previous key to the commem half series was the 1996 olympic swimmer unc- mintage 50K+- the Army mintage is in the 40K+- range. Any collector would be happy to pay $100 for the olympic swimmer.</p><p>the olympic swimmer collector base includes a few olympic swimmers and about 49,800 commem half dollar collectors- the Army collector base is huge- the Army is the largest branch of the US militry- add to that all of the collectors who missed the offering.</p><p>The Army half has the minuteman which is&nbsp; a popular image and the overall design is superior to the olympic swimmer.</p><p>Now here is the clincher- clad commem halfs have always sold for less than $10- through some weird pricing mistake this one was priced at more than twice that amount. Collectors thought they would pick this coin up in the after market for $10 and let the orig buyer take the loss- AND THEY WERE RIGHT! for the first few days after the mint pulled the coin they sold for less than $20 on ebay (I posted an alert to let ct readers know). Now there are tons of collectors who need this key coin to complete their set- it will skyrocket.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
