[QUOTE="Troodon, post: 768220, member: 4626"]Well I'd pay $30 for it, exactly what I can get the coin by itself for, and not a penny more. It's still a step above putting a sticker with Obama's picture on the front of Illinois and Hawaii quarters, if for no other reason than at least they're not messing with the coin. As an investment? Er... well it will always be worth what an ounce of silver is worth. Wouldn't attach any value to the Obama sticker on the plastic holder. Maybe in a generation people will place a value on Obama memorabilia... but I've been able to get similar memorabilia for other presidents from as far back as Kennedy really cheap at garage sales, so I wouldn't place any bets that the Obama sticker will become significantly valuable in your lifetime. If you can get this for what the coin by itself is worth, go for it I suppose. I don't want to make any political statements as whether future generations will want to remember Obama or not... but I rarely see political memorabilia become siginficantly valuable while the subject is still in living people's memories, so unless you want your great grandchildren to cash it in, I doubt this would make that great of an investment.
