I was a bit surprised too. I think it has to do with the fact that it captured some mainstream attention, leading to much greater demand than the limited mintage.

This must be an American coin collector’s bias speaking, but I’m astonished that a modern base metal coin (the glow in the dark one) could be so popular. I wonder if the interest in it will last?

$47,000 on Franklin Mint products?!?! After reading the article all I can say is the guy who spent that much money didn’t have a clue. At the very least, he should have at least considered buying genuine government issue coins. I was taught long ago by my late grandfather than all of these private mint issues are nothing more than medallions and are probably worth at most their melt value. This case is no different than buying stocks and not having a clue what you are doing.

Any customer who received the 90% silver half dollar instead of the clad version may call the Mint for a replacement.

If any customer takes them up on that offer, that would really be news.
