Not sure how much premium collectors will attach to this, but I suppose if the CS failure leads to more dominoes falling, they could become sought after memorabilia.
 
Maybe it’s my location on Long Island but often see at local coin shows Franklin National Bank bars selling at or near spot. Franklin had a real interesting story as the largest failure at the time in 1974 withe Lowe’s, the mafia, the masons and few other interesting people. If that didn’t earn a premium I don’t think CS stuff will have any legs. The Franklin stuff is also rarer since much of it wound up at the smelters during the precious metals run up in the late seventies and early eighties.
 
Maybe in your grandkids lifetime?
