great article!

I think these companies are making a killing on coins that are over priced and IMO destroy the natural look of the original mints coins. I also think there will be a lot of disappointed people when they take their obama coins into a coin shop 15 years from now to cash them in for BIG MONEY!..

The disappointment will probably be similar to when people took their gold "layered" State Quarters to a coin shop in order to cash in.

I saw those adds circulating on TV, My first reaction was to laugh. You could tell from the add that all it was was pictures pasted on a regular coin. The $1, $.5, $.25 sets are worth $1.75 once cut/paste project is removed. I wonder if Montel got his money back from his monumental offer of galactic proportions.

I disagree. I suspect that in about 300 to 500 years those coins will double in value, maybe, possibly, might.

I can't wait! By then my collection will be worth a fortune so I'll sell it and get rich! ~ Jim

No offense but I wouldn't own an Obama coin if someone gave me a million of them for free. I don't want to get into politics but like one of the comic book characters of my youth used to say "Nuff Said".
