$275 is an insane price. I'm sure there is a licensing fee from DC Comics that inflates the price, but even still that's crazy. You're talking a premium of $75 per oz over spot.  For context, the 2021-P Tuskegee 5 oz Silver Coin debuted for $229 with silver at $25/oz, meaning the premium was just $21 per oz over spot.

$275? No way. Not interested. Not even for Batman, which is what I prefer if I were to splurge for a larger medal.

I mean, Batman would be kinda cool. I will have to wait and see how tempting he is.

In the OP, reference is made to non-precious clad medals. Haven't seen anything on the USM Product Schedule that fits that description. . .
