Griffin – don’t forget that only $10 of your purchase price goes to the LCIF. If your sole purpose in buying the coin is to support the LCIF you’re better off sending the whole $50 or $60 to the LCIF instead.

What a great day for the Lions that Senate has approved lion commemorative coin and signed into law by president Obama. I am eagerly waiting to possess the coin. Al the 1.35 lions should register and procure the coin.

When I was a kid, I was able to attend the special summer camp for handicapped children in Kerriville TX. It was completly funded by The Lions Club. I went three seperate Summers and enjoyed each one very much. I am now 48 and feel a great sense of gratitude to the Lions Club. If the news of this commemorative coin is given ample publicity, I think many of the former children who benifited from the club in some way would be happy to buy one and help give back in some way to this great organization. I know I will.

I wonder how many of these coins are bought by members of the commemorated organization and how many bought by unaffiliated coin collectors. Average sales over the last 10 yrs is ~70% with the exception of the buffalo and Lincoln coins both of which sold out (100%).
One would think that with over 1 million members this coin would sell out – I bet it doesn’t.
