Did anyone order the U.S. Air Force 2.5 Ounce Silver Medal yesterday? Max mintage 10k w/ HHL (currently) 1. It is still available as of this AM for $160. I like the look of it but at that price I don't think I like it that much. |

I had some interest in these, but the price really pushed me away.  |

 I'm saving that money for the 2-coin ASE set later this year. |

Same! You know it will not be cheap.  |

Not worth it IMO. If you read the product description, there will be a re-release next year with the exact same medal, but in a 1oz piece instead of a 2.5oz. That'll be much cheaper and I'll wait for that.

Hopefully silver will come back down by then. Even if it does not, it is a better option for me. I do like the 2.5 ounce Liberty medal I bought in 2019, but I always thought of that as a one-off. I am not looking to start a collection of 2.5 ounce medals, but will consider things that interest me... at the right price.  |

I feel like this is something I would be able to find at my LCS in the next couple of years for way below retail. I do like the idea of displaying the 2.5-ounce next to the 1-ounce, but, eh. Like jbuck said, gotta be the right price.

I bought one yesterday. I plan on getting all 5. I'm guessing they are making one for the space force.

I would be upset if they did not do one for Space Force. Why make four when you can do five for 25% more.  |

I'm among those that will be waiting for the one-ounce versions coming next year. Quote:
