Collector Research Notes

A scientifically informed reconstruction of an ancient gorilla species is depicted in detailed relief, showcasing the animal's powerful physique and prehistoric environment.

What Collectors Usually Check

  • This issue is tagged as scarce in the local catalog, so collector demand often depends on condition, eye appeal, and how often examples surface for sale.
  • The estimated collector range sits meaningfully above melt value, which usually means design, scarcity, or set demand is doing more work than metal content alone.
  • Original mint pricing provides issue-day context, but aftermarket pricing often moves independently once a coin sells out or enters the secondary market.
  • Use the listed edge, diameter, finish, and legends to verify the exact issue before comparing prices or catalog entries.
