<p>[QUOTE="krispy, post: 943118, member: 19065"]While I don't own any of these nor subscribe any political discourse surrounding these coins, I too consider these coins to be primarily bullion coins. They are very interesting in concept and will likely continue to fetch some sort of collector premium over spot price far into the future. I suspect that while there are collectors of them now who are more closely aligned to the ideals behind these pieces, there may be a future collector base interested in this era of limited private minting coins. They may one day be as specialized of a niche collector market as are early California and Oregon gold coin collectors. No matter what ones personal politics were at the time these were conceived, nor ones reason for investing in them at the time, or currently, it is the future collector to whom these coins will speak about history and the mindset of the people who brought these coins to life. I think that will drive collector interest down the road. The limited mintage will be a huge part in defining the numismatic premium. </p><p><b><br /></b></p><p><b>T$:</b> Your image of the coin in the OP is quite detailed.

The quality of the image is improving significantly. The pics are getting so good that I can even detect a fingerprint on the reverse between 11 and 12 o'clock. A minor point about lighting that I can note would be that the bottom edge of both sides seems a little under illuminated. I know that you typically position your lamps at 10 and 2 o'clock.

Good work on the pics, they're very enjoyable to look at in your threads. :)[/QUOTE]
