They are both great numismatic plays if you can find them for a good deal. Some go for well over $100 per coin, but if you can find them for $60 or less that's pretty much a steal for any Series 1.

The rabbits and mouse you can usually find retail for $50-60 no problem. </p><p><br /></p><p>Strangely some of the 1/2 coins go for more, such as the 1/2 oz series 2 mouse which goes for twice what the 1 oz version does.
