<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mkwelbornjr, post: 1131693, member: 17034&quot;]There are also members of the public who are just casual collectors and like something like this. At the end, the price is so cheap, its really no loss. Think about how much markup there is when someone goes to buy a piece of jewelry. Most Rolex watches sell for a fraction of cost on the secondary market. Some of the public also likes the way colored coins look. Its reall a totally different market segment than real historic coin collecting. These same people while enjoying their Elvis Silver Eagle...could care less about a MS65 Morgan.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I think its a problem with the hobby as a whole when non collectors buy anything just for value increase.&nbsp; There are no guarantees with anything from any mint.&nbsp; I have personally seen some of these tribute pieces sell for premiums on Ebay.&nbsp; Remember the 9/11 Dollar from 2004..Northern Mariana Islands.&nbsp; Thanks to all the publicity, these sold for $100+ on Ebay...a plated $19 NCLT Coin.&nbsp; NC Mint also offers pure silver versions of items too.&nbsp; Plus a generous 60 day return policy.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
