<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mkwelbornjr, post: 1564352, member: 17034&quot;]Not at all.&nbsp; Its a nice looking American made product.&nbsp; I couldn&#039;t be more than pleased with it.&nbsp; I like silver eagles too but you are comparing apples and oranges.&nbsp; ASE&#039;s are boring to me as compared to this.&nbsp; I have the 25th Ann ASE set.&nbsp; I get them graded by NGC.&nbsp; But I like to support classic icons like FM as well.&nbsp; FM pioneered the cameo proof finish.&nbsp; The US Mint even bough equipment from them as they downsized.&nbsp; The best american sculptors all were employees of Franklin Mint before going to US Mint etc...with the exception of Gilroy Roberts who helped found Franklin Mint.&nbsp; At $142.14 per medal...the Royal Mint charges similar for some of their London 2012 products.&nbsp; Thats a profit margin thats no different than what you pay for an iphone or ipad...or toothpaste at Wal-Mart.&nbsp; As long as they don&#039;t lie and guarantee investment or anything...I am okay with it.&nbsp; Its not like National Collectors mint where they sell a gold plated item and discuss the market price of gold.&nbsp; In this case the plating is for aesthetics.&nbsp; I am not in search of the cheapest silver...I just collect what I like.&nbsp; If I die and someone sells it for a fraction of the price I still got my enjoyment.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
