Complete set of 7 bimetallic hologram coins portraying wonders of the world, 10000 riel face value.
What questions should I ask before I even think of buying it? So far I've come up with:
Q: Does it line up with my interests?
A: Definitely. I like high-tech coins and the Mint Directors's Conference voted this "Most Technically Advanced Coin".
Q: Do I have expertise about this series?
A: None whatever unless you count Googling.
Q: Will it be an expense or an asset?
A: It's hard to find sale prices for this and I'll have to ask on Cointalk whether this sort of thing interests collectors.
Q: Is this a rare opportunity I have to jump on right away?
A: I don't know, which probably translates to "No", unless someone on Cointalk tells me otherwise.
Q: Have I seen the coins firsthand?
A: No.
Q: Is the seller reputable?
A: 100% positive feedback but out of only 99 auctions.
Q: Is there a return option?
A: Yes, 7 days.
Q: What's the condition?
A: Presumably uncirculated, but not specified in the eBay listing.
Q: What's the competition?
A: Panda America has 6 of the 7 coins, for more money than the set would cost. The only other source for the coins is a subset from a Ukrainian bank.
What else should I be asking myself? What should I be asking you folks?
