Since I just got one from the NRA for free.... I'd say "free" or "priceless", whichever you prefer to call it. Seriously, I signed up for a 1 yr membership and they sent me the coin 3 months later in an attempt to get me to send them more money. It's a really nice coin that sticks to a magnet, with some sort of plating or rust free / scratch free coating. Springfield could have been an advertising financial sponsor to send them out.
