Hi John..I think that all 50 were minted and that politic played a roll in their not being released. At least most of them not being released. But whomever has them, if it is them, has the trophy of Silver Strikes. Value would probably be between $15K and $20K for a few collectors who find it necessary to have everything. Perhaps someone will bring one to the Convention so we can see what it looks like. That is providing they even got out.
