<p>[QUOTE="19Lyds, post: 1140326, member: 15929"]You are right in stating your comparisons but to be perfectly honest, nobody ever purchased a pair of A&F Jeans after they were advertised that someday they could be worth a lot of money since jeans are simply not a viable investment tool.

Now, granted, folks tend to be a bit greedy but since this is a Coin Forum which is visited by Coin Collectors, both old and new, I'm sure you can understand the animosity that WRME brings since anybody that has a lick of sense knows that 50 coin Presidential Dollar rolls are gonna sell for maybe $60 in 50 years (provided we're all still around) and giving them away for free but charging a $124 "vault fee" charge kinda ruffled a lot of feathers.
