<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 1716882, member: 19463&quot;]There is probably no question we see more often and no question with more disagreement as to the answer.&nbsp;&nbsp; Most of us that have been collection for a while would not want coins in this condition unless we thought that the group included something rare or educational and we could not find it better.&nbsp; Most of us probably have a pile of such things that we bought when we were new or that came as part of a group we bought to get something else.&nbsp; The ones shown strike me as slightly worse than what I give away to elementary school kids.&nbsp; The same coins are sold on eBay and other places for $20 each often with a write up suggesting that the buyer might find gold coins or something that any museum would love to have.&nbsp; I consider those sellers to be slime.&nbsp; I suppose that $1 might be a fair price but the fact remains that I would rather have a $1 menu burger from McD&#039;s and I avoid red meat.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Certainly it might be possible to find someone who will pay $5 for something worth less but value in such a transaction is not so much the coin as the marketing.&nbsp; Add a write up and sell them at the gift shop of a historical park to tourists who want to remember the day and I could see that being a fair price.&nbsp; Add a pile of lies about how they are rare investment grade material likely to increase in value and I see the sale as more of a scam than anything else.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
