Boy, it's been a while since we've seen a new folkartnut offering.
Auction claims the retail value of 500 PCGS 69DCAM AGEs is $1,250,000, but is selling them for $550K. Wouldn't $550K be close to full retail?
New collectors, please educate yourself before spending money on coins; there are people who believe that using numismatic knowledge to rip the naïve is what this hobby is all about.
If you have the complete set of all those different coins signed by all those famous people you might have something worth a lot of $$ one day. (can't believe i just said that)
Change that we can believe in is that change which is 90% silver.

I can't believe you said it either, Dog! I could never figure out who these "autographed coins" appeal to.
Doesn't seem likely that coin collectors would pay significantly extra for an autograph that has no connection to the coin, and autograph collectors probably won't want to pay significantly extra if they can get just the autograph for much less.
Sure, there will probably be some premium based on the limited number made, but I sure don't see these turning into big money.

<<<I can't believe you said it either, Dog!

I thought my State spoons made by the Franklin Mint would be valuable. I thought my MS70 ICG state quarters I bought on Coin Vault last week would skyrocket. I thought the black velvet Elvis paintings I bought at the fleamarket last were the key to my retirement. I thought the Bird Series of silver rounds were a steal @ $99 each. Only 10 easy payments of $199.

Nobody's signature is worth that much unless it's on the "payer's" signature line of a check. With that I have a true hand signed picture of Muhammed Ali with a letter that came with it. I'll consider letting it go for $500,000. Any takers!?

Naw, they're *easy* to sell...at face value. I'll buy 'em all for *double* face value.
I don't see any Trump signature slab there.
I wonder why The Donald signs his name Gerald Ford
