<p>[QUOTE="Troodon, post: 1579491, member: 4626"]Probably not worth much more than the silver they contain. Franklin Mint likes to advertise many of their products as "rare," which sometimes technically they are, but it's not rarity that determines an item's value, but its rarity proportional to its demand. And while there's probably some collector's demand for these, probably isn't enough to give these much value above their silver melt. A few dollars over at best.</p><p><br /></p><p>Still they are kind of nice, and I wonder if this is how the US Mint got the idea lol...</p><p><br /></p><p>P.S. Keep in mind that just because someone on eBay is asking $2500 for a set of these doesn't mean they'll actually get it. You don't want to look at what people are asking on eBay to figure out the value of an item; you want to look at concluded auctions to see what the item actually sold for. If anyone actually sold these for that price, that's a good measure of consumer demand and can help you determine the value, and what you can realistically actually sell it for.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
