Does anyone own any of those coins? Will those coins be highly collectible in the future? They came out at 2013 with a low mintage of 10.000 Is it too late jumping on those now or are they too expensive now? Does anyone know what was the price when they first came out?     *** Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. *** |

One mans trash is another mans treasure. But I think they are tacky over glorified junk. But people are supposedly paying the high prices so best of luck to them I guess.

Theyre cool for what they are if you like superheros. If you dont like superheros obviously they wont be your thing. They could probably do pretty well selling at comicon.

I personally don't like super heroes, but I was think more like passing it down to my kids .
I sometimes watch this shows - pawn shop and other antique shows - and I was wondering if something like this superhero coin, will increase in value in the future. I know some of you don't like the coin, but there are a lot of fanatics out there .
My question is : is it worth paying the huge premium for these coins? or I can invest my money and something better (coin)?
Any thoughts on that?

If you want to buy them as an investment, is too too late. The hype is over.

The gold coin came out of the mint at a price of $749.00 0r $799.00 and was selling on the secondary market for over $2500.00.
It has settled down since and sells between $1600.00 and $2000

Nice coins for kids or Superman fans-coin collectors. The 1oz coins were selling for $109-$129. I bought "The Shield" for myself and the "Man of the Steel" for my kid. His excitement lasted 10 minutes and now for months the coin collects dust on kids shelf. (need to add that mine also collects dust on another shelf, the difference is that I remember about mine coin and he doesn't care) Superman, Spiderman today....Wolverine and others next time. But the quality of the coins is really good. Fortunately "The Shield" enameled by hand and not color-printed (that might be not true, but this was shown in the RCM promo clip). |

I agree with the comments of those suggesting the investment potential of these coins is limited. I believe their Superman theme will help them maintain some degree of popularity over time and allow them to always sell for a premium over their melt value (unlike many other modern NCLT coins). Regarding their showing a strong long-term return on investment? I think there are better potential purchases.

Personally, I buy what I like. These coins are still being sold for slightly above issue price. The gold coin is still being sold on the secondary market for over $1,600.
Best of luck with your collection.

I'd love to see the value of these coins at the 100th anniversary of Superman.

@Silveroid - The same thing happened with my kid. He was excited for only a short period of time when I gave him the coin. But that being said He played with his lego superhero set for two days and now is currently scattered all over his room collecting dust as well. I bought the lego set for him for Christmas for close to $100. At least I can sell the coin and recoup most of the money back if I so chose.

@Chubbycheeks:
that's right.
But I have no complaints.
Just I see it as parallel between kids and collectors. Nice coin, but the period of their hype/excitement passed.

Kids have no concept of the long-term. For my 10th birthday my dad gave me a hockey stick signed by the 1964 Toronto Maple Leafs, defending Stanley Cup Champions (look it up, it really happened). I thought it was really neat - I had a new stick to play road hockey with. The stick lasted 2-3 months before it shattered and I threw it away and got another one.
Do I wish I knew then what I know now about that stick? You betcha. But then it was just a hockey stick, and your kids now probably don't get why they can't take that "coin" and go spend it on something they'd really like to have.

Thank you, jpaiva83 I posted the same in the Vendors / Dealers topic. For this coin, I found the package impressive. Now, more seriously: I didn't want it my collection, but wanted to see, the mints (partially following by RCM) starting to issue "Superheroes" coins. My 6 yrs old son an me both do not really like the spiderman. The different story with Batman - this coin, if whenever will be struck and will be good - I'll buy two. Or more. Same with the "Star wars" - great design (not as 2011 plain), and I will be among the first in the line. |
