<p>[QUOTE=&quot;JBK, post: 41061, member: 1101&quot;]Here is the scenario:&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I ordered two of the Vatican commem 2 euro coins months ago.&nbsp; Then this week I got a letter from the Pope (or one of his assistants) saying that my credit card is no longer valid (in fact I did lose it and got it replaced since then), and that I should send new details, which I did.&nbsp; The letter implies that I will be getting two of these coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>So I was out at lunch one day and passed by a coin store with the new commem 2 euros in the window, and the price was manually marked UP to 175 euros (I guess they can’t keep up to date with the price increases on their printed price list).</p><p><br /></p><p>Keep in mind that these coins are costing me a whopping 11 euros each, I believe.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I will keep one for sure, but what should I do with the other?&nbsp; Keep it (what if the euro mania bubble bursts)?&nbsp; Sell it (what if the price goes up and up)?&nbsp; Break it out of the package and spend it on beer? </p><p><br /></p><p>There’s still a chance that the Vatican might not send me these coins, but they seem to be somewhat organized (if slow), in that they sent me a letter telling me my windfall was delayed due to a bad credit card number.&nbsp; Of course, the Pope has a big hospital bill to pay, so maybe he will gather up all this pocket change and ship it off to the hospital billing office. </p><p><br /></p><p>I am not sure if the Vatican coins have been holding their value, or if they will continue to do so.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
