Message:: [QUOTE="John Burgess, post: 4993942, member: 105098"]Medals don't generate as much interest in general, just the way it goes. Most everyone looks at it and says "I'm a buyer but only if I can flip it".The issue comes with the next question, "can I flip it?" Will there be buyers that want it and enough demand or is it a $5-$10 gain or break even proposition? With silver or gold American Eagles that a no brainer, but with medals it's hit or miss, and when most of the dealers are leaving them alone for the home shopping networks to buy up to pawn off on impulse shoppers, it doesn't seem like there's gonna be much of a win there at all for most folks looking for a quick flip double up. I won't say it's a dud, but I'd say the reward likely won't be worth the effort. I think the V75 silver eagle sold out as fast as it did because people think it's gonna sell like hotcakes for christmas. I'm not sure that's gonna materialize with the mintage but buyers will make their money back and a tidy profit (has to be at least double minimum I'd think) due to the popularity of silver American Eagles in general.[/QUOTE]
