<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jaceravone, post: 695567, member: 9474&quot;]It could happen years down the road.&nbsp; I was just reading an article about the modern commemorative coinage and how volatile their prices are.&nbsp; You never know if a coin will go up in value or down in value.&nbsp; The author gave three price examples.&nbsp; First was the 2000 Library of Congress Bi-metal coin.&nbsp; He said in the article that although the coin came out in 2000, up until 2004 you could still find this coin at around $1200, now it is tough to find it below $2400.&nbsp; What has been the reason for the jump?&nbsp; Then he used another example which was the 1997 Jackie Robinson UNC coin which also could be had for around $2000 in 2004, now you cant find it for less than $4000.&nbsp; What was the reason for that jump?&nbsp; Who knows, but I think that was his point was that an interest in a particular coin can go up or down on any given day for no apparent reason. To this day I can still kick myself for not getting that 2000 Library of Congress Proof Bi-metal coin.&nbsp; In 2005, I had a chance to acquire one for $650 but at that time I was getting ready to buy some other coins which I felt were more important...now you can&#039;t even find the proof for less than $1500.&nbsp; Who knew?&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>So who knows what the FS coins will do in the future.&nbsp; All I know is that I want to be on board when something does decide to happen.&nbsp; Here is the last example he used and could be applied to the FS series.&nbsp; In 1995/96 when the Olympic coins came out, everybody rushed to buy the Proof coins.....as usual, but it was the UNC coins that nobody bought up.&nbsp; 10 years later the prices of these coins have jumped and nearly 15 years later it is quite expensive to put together a complete UNC set without dropping some serious cash.&nbsp; My point from here is that if you can only buy one coin from this series, you might as well make it the UNC, because history has shown that these will be the more valuable out of the two coins.&nbsp; Good luck.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
