I doubt the popularity and price are all that closely related to the theme. We see the same thing with many of these modern NCLT coins which have unusual designs and a very low mintage of usually just a few hundred or few thousand pieces. Every year new ones of various themes come out, people go bonkers and drop big $ on them, and many of us that do not collect ultra-modern novelty pieces scratch our heads as to why.

BUT I have been to Roswell last year. While visiting the RR ghost town of Thurmond, WV, I found a relic I had to bring home... an old-fashioned style Coke Bottle with "Roswell, NM" embossed on the bottom. I thought finding any other Coke bottle in a ghost town would not have been as interesting! Although later I found this bottle to be a remake, but its still fun and sits on my insulator display case. How much squash could a Sasquatch squash if a Sasquatch would squash squash?

Roswell museum is quite amazing ..they have a full scale model of the craft with a few aliens standing around and lots of documentation of the crash events with sworn affadavits from the witnesses etc....I didnt get a chance to explore the town but the UFO stores everywhere were proof of a tourist trap in full swing..I would like to go back and stay overnite sometime..the desert is amazing but I didnt visit the crash site....

The niue coin is the next best coin in my opinion..the Falcon Lake coin is the absolutely best coin on the UFO market right now..The NIUE GITD coin is perfectly engineered with huge 3D effect of the dome ..The GITD effect is pretty low key and does not really do much in the dark..a bit hard to see..It is well worth the price for a 500 mintage coin however. The Battle of Los Angeles coin looks pretty cool but the coin is encased in a triple layer of lucite which can be taken apart but the team that put it together didnt do a first rate job and there is lots of crap left including Hair! in my personal coin..Im going to dismantle it and see if I can clean it up. There is also a finishing problem with the inset black eye covers..they are micro chipped at the edges so although it is a nice coin it does have problems..Still a govt issued coin tho which qualifies it for my UFO coin collection.

What I dont understand is I think it weird that a mint from, not American uses a Roswell, I mean it would be like the Americans making Stalin coins o.O.

not surprising actually. The US Mint is too conservative to do a UFO coin. The smaller countries do all the really innovative designs and themes because they have more freedom and ,by the way ,even the Russians wouldnt do a Stalin coin. I think the US Military would frown on a US Govt uFO coin...after all..they are trying to keep it a secret!
