I AGREE A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO WHEN THE AMERICAN MARKET WAS A BIG LIE A SMALL FEW WOULD OF PAID THAT BUT NOW I WOULD SAY 6OO TO 700 FOR THE GOLD CROWN WITCH IS STILL ALOT BUT IF YOU HAD TO SELL IT MAYBE YOU COULD BREAK EVEN. I HAVE ALWAYS COLLECTED THE 200 DOLLARS STRIKE THINKING YOU HAVE THE SAFTY OF THE 12OZ OF SILVER SO IF PAYING BETWEEN 240 AND 500 ON STRIKES IN 20 YEARS YOU WONT HAVE A LOSS AND THE HOBBY REMAINS FUN BUT ANY HOBBY THAT LOSSES MONEY IS NOT FUN!! THE 200 STRIKE FOR SURE ARE NOT MONEY MAKERS BUT THE BEST DAM STRIKE MADE!!!!!! BUT YOU NEVER KNOW WHERE SILVER WILL GO SO THEY COULD END UP MAKING MONEY, LETS HOPE CHINA KEEPS BUYING
