By that, I mean, neither coin is intended for circulation and both were made specifically as collectibles for this specific set. If anything at all, the medal has more intrinsic value than the Reverse Proof which, IMLO, is a god awful ugly finish for a golden dollar. They should have chosen the Enhanced Uncirculated finish but, whatever.</p><p><br /></p><p>As far as I know, neither coin or medals (in .999 silver) are available outside the respective sets which means that if 16,812 Truman Reverse Proofs were made then only 16,812 .999 fine Silver Medals were made. From a numbers standpoint, both would be equal even though, yes, I agree, the RP is whats driving the price! As unfair as that seems.</p><p><br /></p><p>From an aesthetic standpoint, the silver medal beats the jujubies out of the Reverse Proof. (My Opinion)</p><p><br /></p><p>As for the original question, I was wondering since I&#039;m not really looking to have yet another US Mint product the &quot;used&quot; to be worth $250 (like the 1999 Silver Proof Sets) so I was wondering where these fell in the current price spectrum.</p><p>You see, the collector in me is a real dummy from a financial aspect. He&#039;s sitting here, as I type, wondering if he should get a Teddy Roosevelt C&amp;C Set since there are a couple more coming out that he&#039;ll PROBABLY extend himself for!</p><p><br /></p><p>UGH!
