[QUOTE="19Lyds, post: 2282936, member: 15929"]Only gold friend and even then they'll carry the weight and fineness on one of the surfaces. As for being an "investment coin"? Just look at the 2014 Kennedy. Out of the gate, $1,240 plus shipping. It finally went off the market from the US Mint at $1,090. Not necessarily what I would consider a "good investment". It is quite possible that these 2016 version of old designs "could" suffer the same fate "UNLESS", you get in at the opening bell, pay for overnight shipping, then immediately forwarded them to PCGS for 1st Strike or whatever other silly label they'll dream up, get all MS70's, then resell them (or presale them) within a week of them being offered. I could almost guarantee that the very 1st MS79/First Strike coin sells for better than $1,000 above release price. BUT, I would NEVER guarantee that that price would be sustainable. P.S. It's called the Flipping Game and has nothing to do with investment potential.[/QUOTE]
