awildeheart Valued Member Australia 295 Posts	Posted 03/19/2013 05:04 am Hi, just wondering what forum members are thinking about the NZ Hobbit coins the RAM is putting out? I'm wondering if there is the thought that they will become desirable (mintage unlimited!) collector items in the years to come ... or are they just movie merchandising sucker items?

allranger Pillar of the Community United States 1391 Posts	Posted 03/19/2013 11:20 am While I am interested in the Hobbit movie (mostly because I love the book and want more people to read it) I would only buy those if I could get them cheap and consider them to be a sucker item. That being said there are a lot of suckers out there and you might be able to find some big suckers. Look at what people pay for Star Wars/Star Trek cheap crap... Report this Post to the Staff
The Unicorn Pillar of the Community Australia 750 Posts	Posted 03/19/2013 8:35 pm I think that this was rather an unexpected money. Since people can't just frodo away, I'm guessing that Hades will be thorin before many buy these. Personally, rather than the Hobbit, I prefer the Lord of the ring pulls, namely VB, so I might invest in some slabbed versions of that. Since the mintage is uncirculated ones is unlimited I'm wondering if some of them will be bagend.
