SILVER SURFER QUARTERS APPEAR ON EBAY
Tom Fort forwarded a new article from the New York Times about
the Silver Surfer quarters."The studio behind a coming summer movie, Fantastic Four: Rise
of the Silver Surfer, has roused the ire of the United States
Mint with its promotional gimmick for the film, in which Marvel
Comics superheroes battle a metallic alien."The altered coins (which are not in fact silver) were
distributed nationwide in the period leading up to Memorial Day."Some of the Silver Surfer quarters have shown up on eBay, where
collectors have paid as much as $149 each a high price for a
quarter, but modest in comparison to the $250-plus that was bid
recently for an original copy of the first issue of the Silver
Surfer comic book."To read the complete article, see: Full Story
