<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Troodon, post: 1964934, member: 4626&quot;]Living in Denver, this stuff actually makes big local news.&nbsp; Apparently on the day of issue, a dealer trying to work around the one gold JFK per person at the mint&#039;s gift shop had a &quot;casting call&quot; for extras; the extras weren&#039;t hired to be in a movie, but to stand in line to get gold JFKs (which they were then paid $500 each to buy the coins and give them to the &quot;director&quot;).</p><p><br /></p><p>There&#039;s no doubt that in the early days this fad means you could theoretically cash in, but there&#039;s no minting limit (other than they have to stop on or before 12/31) and there&#039;s no set cut off date for sales (they can keep selling them as long as they have any to sell).&nbsp; I think it&#039;s silly to get worked up about a coin which has the potential to be one of the <i>highest</i> minted gold coins in modern history (they may mint up to 100k of these, or more!).&nbsp; This ain&#039;t going to be a rare coin by any stretch of the imagination.&nbsp; It&#039;s definitely going to be the most common gold coin minted this year and may be <i>the</i> most common gold coin minted since gold ceased to circulate.&nbsp; I&#039;m not saying don&#039;t get one if you can afford it and the mood strikes you, but I can&#039;t see this being much of an investment (at least not a short term one).</p><p><br /></p><p>Personally I just have no interest in it.&nbsp; It&#039;s just a JFK half, in gold; the design is barely any different than a regular JFK half.&nbsp;&nbsp; I&#039;m actually more excited about the reverse proof silver JFK; that&#039;s at least a <i>little</i> different.&nbsp; There&#039;s just far more interesting coins you can get with $1200.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
