Are they really worth that though?

[–] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 16 points 2 years ago (5 children)

They are worth $1 but police claimed people were buying them for $10

Possible reasons for that would be international customers or limited supply

Yeah, they are collector coins, and the few who got them on ballots are selling for ~ $15 on eBay now.
