I would think their value should start to climb fairly solidly due to the very small amount minted...expecially the gold one, 60 only.

Bet they are already earmarked for mint hierachy or pollies!

Be alright if you had $62000 laying around collecting interest. With only 600 of the silver one, those lucky enough to get one of those would be watching the value increase early on.
One thing for sure is you won't see either the genuine gold or silver one on FleaBay.
