<p>[QUOTE=&quot;krispy, post: 849762, member: 19065&quot;]Too much emphasis and nostalgia of youth/Scouting is being worked up on this coin issue to think these will carry numismatic premiums. Don&#039;t forget this is a centennial commem for the organization not a Scout graduation coin. Most being bought as gifts are being done by adults for children unaware of the coin market and the concerns we discuss. Like any other <i>special</i> coin given at a high school or college graduation, as a memento/gift, it doesn&#039;t carry much more than sentimental value to the receiver. The coin market doesn&#039;t care when someone graduated, they will only care about high grade/quality coins if those who are or eventually become sophisticated coin collectors, hence the high grades will command the premium. All those tucked away for years by Mom will somehow end up in the market with plenty to be had for years to come. I agree not to buy those TPG graded coins during the hype of a new coin release either as they are over priced and working the marketing angle on consumer emotional response... and NEVER buy from the TV hucksters. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>There&#039;s just too many of these coins about to be out there to rely on another modern commemorative silver dollar from the US Mint to be worth a premium or that buyers from the non-collecting Scouting community will be willing to pay those premiums in the near and far future.
