Pretty cool, but not ~4x the cost of an ounce of silver cool.

This is one way the government makes extra revenue.

Heck, what are cards… 1000x, 100,000x or more compared to cost of material. 4x isn’t sounding bad!

I'm pretty sure the price is more focused towards the art & collectability of the medallion than its actual worth of silver.

Entrepreneurial spirit runs strong once you have a handful of coin presses.

EXACTLY!!!!

I'm not thrilled at the cost of these, esp. since it's an item that'll most likely get lost;

and there's the fact that I'd want to complete the run not knowing how many super heroes will get one...

but still not sure that's enough to persuade me not to

Alot of money for a coin without a limited mintage

Eh, I'll get them like I get most of my US silver commemoratives, at an estate auction for $5 below spot, LOL.

For $135, Batman for me. And that's if I'm feeling generous that day or perhaps drunk.

I’m not really a fan of either design tbh.
