Silver Surfer Coin - new release

Postby Silver_Surfer1 » Tue May 22, '07, 10:40 pm

Has anyone here seen the new Silver Surfer coin (a quarter) due to be released shortly and before the new Fantastic Four and The Silver Surfer movie comes out? I got a glimpse of one this morning on the Fox and Friends News show. It looks cool! I got to get me one of these!!!!!!!! :hyper: :yes: :hyper:

Someone showed me a picture of it today. I have to say, that's a merchandising trick I haven't seen before. :eyebrow: It looked pretty good though. I'm not a big Silver Surfer fan, but I wouldn't mind having one for my coin collection. I wonder how many of them will be printed?

Oooh, neat. As a comic fan, I must have one of those! I haven't read that many Silver Surfer stories overall, but that sounds like a cool little collectable.

I wonder how much they will be going for on eBay? :lol:

Well, it looks like they're going for a lot... anywhere from $70 to $200 or more. :o

I read some news articles today that said the US Mint claims the coin is illegal. Apparently it's against the law to use money to advertise stuff. That's going to make them even harder to get!

Yeah, I heard that news about the coins possibly being illegal. I wonder how that will really affect their value in the long run. People that have them will hold on to them now or let them go and try to make a hefty profit. Sometimes it's a vicious circle out there. :stir:

I'm surprised eBay still has them up after that news came out; they're supposed to remove illegal items like that. If they started doing that, the coins would be even harder to find! :bang:
