Dang! I've just invested in 10,000 of them. :-)

They will be hawked heavily in the newspapers and magazines no doubt.

The Churchill Crown was suggested as being a good investment in the UK coin
mags back in 1965/66 but they will never be worth the buying power they had
when originally issued never mind anything above that. I have just one got
from the bank at face value. To just break even, allowing for inflation,
they would have to be sold now for about £1.50 each, this would prove
difficult. Billy

That's about how many times I have seen the Franklin Mint commercials
selling the coins.
