hmmm. I'm not so sure Altima. But who knows right? Look at what the Kilo is going for on Apmex for the Snake 900.00. They can still mint these, but the price appreciation is pretty good. They can mint all of the older issues too, but they are hard to find, which leads me to believe they are not minting them in mass, which explains the high price of the older issues? Maybe the Snakes as a example maybe a lot cheaper elsewhere, I'm not sure. I think the horse will appreciate in price within a year, is my guess. Even though they can still be minted. Who knows. :--)))
