Those $30 National Wildlife Refuge silver metals

Mikey

Are selling for $75 on ebay. I wonder if they'll keep increasing?

Holy Smokes! They're not making any more!?!?!? Gotta have one! Gotta have one! Hey, wait a minute....these are medals; not even coins that do not circulate...They have no chance of circulating....

$75 try $125 for the Salmon Medal. I see PCGS is now grading the Medals. How about that everyone is getting in on the action.

These are all presales too. I don't think they will make the 30 day limit.

Has anyone received their Salmon Medal yet? Order status still shows expected to ship 9/15. At least they updated the order status for the Elk and the Duck to December.

According to my order checked today, it now says in stock and reserved. Maybe they will start shipping the Salmon this week.

I find it ironic that people pooh pooh these because they're "non-circulating medals", but find it perfectly ok to buy "coins" from the ASE and AGE programs, not to mention modern commems.

And don't even get me started on post- 1964 proof sets.

I personally don't collect any of the above material outside of a few pieces to fill "type" holes in my albums, but think it's funny that people draw a line at "legal tender" such that Franklin mint items and wildlife medals fall on one side, and things like a 1995-W silver eagle fall on the other.

It would be pretty cool if the grey sheet made an exception and published a bid /ask even though they are not coins but medals.


By the way there is a history of medals trading for real money. Just look at how popular the Norse medals are.
