It's something people desperately wanting to gain status would buy. ######ed.
Obviously not a coin collector.... or have any clue as to what this was intended for, do you?

Uhh, no. The last thing you ever do is melt down a unique coin like this.

There was really no intention of making these for sale in the first place. It was promotional product only. However, obviously some people think that it would be a good investment, thus they have put in requests to purchase one, and the mint has indicated they will make and sell a few if orders come in. Approx $2.5 to 3 million expected sale price.
