[Blindtlk] The Louis Braille Coin and its Place in theMint Collectable program

[Bryan Schulz]

hi,

in ten years, do you really think some coin shop or new nfb member is going 
to pay you $400 for basically a $40 coin that is only worth $1?
no, he will laugh and not be interested as this coin was made for a niche 
market.
you would not likely make much more than you paid and that means zero 
because if you like it that much, you will keep it and not want to sell 
anyway.
