I have been aware of the work of Lions International and known several members
but with all due respect, this coin is of very limited interest; members of Congress
push their themes and there are just 2 winners annually… you’d think they’d catch on to the abysmal sales of such comemms…pretty much an ego trip… yes, something to do with WWI would have been more appealing…

Not going to buy this .. the lions looked nice in the drawings but now I noticed that the adult lions are missing their whiskers now .. they look like they shaved …

When I buy a commemorative coin the charity is the last thing I think about. I am not a Lion or a big fan of the coin but I will certainly try to pick one up as it may be quite the sell out. I’m sure there are Lions that are collectors but there are probably more that are not and may not even care about the coin. We will see what happens when it is released.

Jess –
Not being a member of LC I have no idea of what the income level of the membership is. As I said, out of pride I would buy a coin even if it cost $50 and forgo however many cups Starbucks coffee it might take to make up for it. If LC members live at the poverty level then that’s a different story; but I don’t believe that there aren’t 400,000 out of 1.4 million members who can’t afford the coin if as I also said before they had the spirit within them.

Jess,
Good observation, but the mint AND the Lion’s Club are going after the non-members.

If you were a Lion Club member why in the world would you give the mint your money. You would think a member would give all 50 bucks to the Lions, not the (MAYBE) 10 bucks. Sorry coin well be a flop. When I give money to St Jude I want ALL my money going to St Jude not just a fraction.

I’m surprised a national notice to all clubs hasn’t been sent. If I were a member I would buy one out of pride of membership. A club purchasing only 10 coins doesn’t show much enthusiasm for the coin or the $ reward they would get indirectly and the honor of being a member of a club being honored by the Congress of the United States with one of only two such coins allowed by law in 2017. Looks like the honor is being misplaced.
