Thread: Silver surfer quarter

  1. #1

    Silver surfer quarter

    So, "20th Century Fox and The Franklin Mint have altered 40,000 U.S. quarters to feature the Marvel Comics character".



    Guess the government is not pleased.

    I'm sure they're ticked they didn't think of it first.

    I think it's sort of cool, it's different for a hero collectiable.

    I'm curious what the original price for these SS coins were. I would think 40,000 is enough to go around for all the SS collectors out there.

    Wow, I can imagine the scammers will be all over this one as well. I wonder if they are showing up all over the country, select areas, movie theaters, or what?

    IF the government does not seize them. I am a Numismatist of over 25 years and I have seen the US government step in and seize many coins that they felt were "illegal". Just before the Sacagawea Dollar first came out, a few people were able to sneak some out before the official release and sell them on Ebay. They went crazy high for some stupid reason, but the Secret Service stepped in and shut them down and seized them. Altering coins really bunches their undies.

    You should check some of the completed listings... $1,000 for 8 coins or $200+ for a single one
    I'd understand this better if there were only 100 made, but there's 40,000 of these out there. By the time the guy who bought 8 gets his coins he won't be able to sell them for a profit anymore.
