Marines Commem design award

Maybe this has already been posted here, but I thought it interesting and hadn't seen it on here. I'm curious if anyone has an opinion about how this might affect the collectability of the coin?

being a military man - feel that this coin will grow in value as years go by - what marine, retired or active would not want to own one??? - know several soldiers who were given these coins as momentos for their service in Iraq - supply and demand will drive up the price of this beautiful commenmorative coin

I gave my father the proof when it came out. He was a Marine Sgt. in the late 50s. He really liked the coin.

I have a MS70.... and expect it to steadily increase in value. Cheers, RickO

It is one of the few modern US commems that actually generated some interest outside the usual collector buyers. It should do well in the future.

The design was very predictable and lacked originality...a typical US Mint product.

Collectability?

It's highly collectible but then everybody who "wants" one either already has one or has their pick of which one they will purchase.

I'm afraid to say it but the actual award may have more collectible value than the coin.

Congrats to the US Mint! It's nice to have the US on the board and winning some COTY awards

Have you seen the prior COTY winners? Lots of bad, ultra-modern computer graphics designs. Not a crowd I'd associate with and I'm a darksider.

I do like this design more than every other US Mint product of the past five years, however. Way more than the US Marshall coins and the BBHOF issues.
