Keith Dee Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 So I’m not a big fan of the guy but that’s neither here or there. My dad I think has a man crush on him and I came across a couple silver and gold ones I was thinking about purchasing for him. The lady at the counter wasn’t sure but she said she believes the owner wants $65 a piece for them. Are they worth it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenstang Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 Just google “ Trump Coins eBay” There are hundreds of them with various styles including colourized ones for much less than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Oldhoopster Posted November 8, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted November 8, 2021 They aren't coins, only novelty tokens/medals. Same for Biden, Obama, H.Clinton etc. pieces. IMO, they aren't worth much unless they are bullion, in which case they're worth melt. $65 seems steep, regardless of political affiliation. If you want something like this for your Dad, shop around On 11/8/2021 at 1:29 PM, 124Spider said: Why anyone would care is a mystery. Some people like this political stuff. I recall seeing Obama novelty tokens during his presidency, and I'm sure you can find Biden items. Hopefully, members will provide the OP with objective information on these political exonumia, and not send it down the path of a political firestorm.

Morpheus1967 Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 Yep, the political stuff is big. A friend of mine runs St. Louis Mint and they just announced a pre-order on Facebook for "Let's Go Brandon" custom one ounce bars. He sold over 700 of them in less than 24 hours.

See that’s why I asked because I’m not familiar with these type of coins and wether or not they can be used as currency. I didn’t ask for anyones opinion on politics so let’s not go there for anyone with such an opinion. If you don’t care then don’t be a troll and move to the next persons question that you can probably helpful with.

Mohawk Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 (edited) Those "coins" are garbage and they're worthless. They are not worth your time, consideration or money. There are millions of better uses for your hard earned money. And let's just get this out of the way. I hate Trump. I loathe him. I cannot stand him. He makes my stomach churn and my skin crawl. People have different opinions and this is mine. But I'm not saying what I said for that reason. I'm saying it because what Roger said is true.....this kind of garbage comes out for every president and none of it is worth anything nor is any of it a good use of your hard earned money. If you want presidential medals, I believe that the U.S. Mint sells them. I'm not sure of the exact lineup being offered though, but you could check it out if you wanted. An actual U.S. Mint medal would be a better use of your money. Edited November 9, 2021 by Mohawk 124Spider 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My humble opinion, if you don't wanna be called names I'd probably stop calling others names. Thanks all have a great day If you looked at the reposts you’d see where it all began. No one called me a name but came into my post and made a rude comment. Which in my opinion is being a troll. If you can’t answer a members questions then maybe you shouldn’t invade their post with your dislike for it. Move on to the next post. And if you don’t like that one then feel free and comment and see if the next member will invite your negativity but not in my posts thank you.

I'm not doing another 4 like that. Thankfully, Canada isn't far away from me, our local accent is already fairly similar to a Canadian accent and I know the words to O Canada. I may have to learn them in French though...but learn it I will. The nice thing is my dad and sister would likely come with us....they can't stand him, either.

Popular Post RWB Posted November 11, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted November 11, 2021 There are certain names that provoke immediate, visceral reactions. Some of these are highly negative from cultural and historical perspectives. Some newer "reactionary" names create strong opinions both positive and negative. The OP's thread title contains one of those newer names, and it is usually best to avoid them in titles if the OP wants unbiased responses.

He had what appeared to be a legit question about a novelty piece and was given good info about them. This is a coin forum, not a political forum. Nobody cares how you feel about him(or other politicians for that matter) Hoghead515, Jblindy and Alex in PA. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

U.S. politics in general either disillusion or disgust me by and large and have for almost as long as I remember. Despite my responses, I actually hate the topic, but I had one of those visceral reactions that Roger is referring to. I, for one, would like to get back to coins and off of U.S. political garbage. Given my thoughts on the whole issue of the U.S. and American politics as a whole entity, I should probably just move to Canada anyway Edited November 11, 2021 by Mohawk Alex in PA. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
