So-called collectibles like these are churned out by private companies and sold at significant markups. In general there is very little aftermarket interest in them, so it's rare that anyone recovers their original cost. Even with gold near $900/oz the amount used in plating is so minuscule that it would cost more to recover it than it's worth.

Nancy Kassebaum and Edward Kennedy.
The truth is these are valued at under $25 if in fact you could get a buyer at ANY price.

Any picture of John Kennedy will always be in demand and will sell well.
