The coins are great and I'd like to get all of them. Like you said, the prices are a little high. However, this was a treat for me. The cost per ounce isn't too much more than many of the other specialty coins like the Scrooge McDuck or other 1 ounce wildlife coins. It's just 1.5 ounces, so it seems like it's more. Well, overall it is, but the per ounce is about the same for me.
