Just the other day, I was bidding on one on ebay and put a bid of $151. The winning bid was $154. This was for the UNC one in the OGP and unopened in the original box that the mint shipped it in. I wouldn't pay more than $160 for either one. Graded....thats a different story....you will always end up paying more for the slab, especially if it a 70. __________________ "These are the times that try men's' souls.

Have not slabbed them yet, but they were probably first strikes.   10-27-2009, 09:51 PM   #3 (permalink) Conder101 Numismatist   Join Date: Sep 2002 Posts: 4,448 Quote: Even when those coins were released not everybody could get one. They were the first modern commems, that I am aware of, that were a sell out. It took 2 days. But they were also one of the first modern commemoratives to have a low total mintage of 500,000 applied to them. Several of the other earlier modern commem would have also had sellouts if their mintage limits had been that low. And it was the 50,000 set coin and currency set that had the super fast sell out, (5 days, not 2) the whole issue mintage took 21 days to sell out the full 500,000. __________________ Slab collector and researcher reported as of 12/29/06 132 companies 332 production varieties   10-27-2009, 10:06 PM   #4 (permalink) jaceravone Member     Join Date: Jul 2007 Location: United States of America Posts: 3,386 My Mood: Quote: Originally Posted by Conder101 But they were also one of the first modern commemoratives to have a low total mintage of 500,000 applied to them.

I would never have thought about that until you mentioned it. I went back and looked at some of the mintages for the early commems and numbers like 2.2 million and 4.9 million for the Washington unc and proof make me cringe. In fact, most of the first 5 years of the commem series saw mintages of 750k or higher. No wonder why the mint got so darn greedy.

No, the 1984 olympic dollar also has an incused date and the 1492 on the 1992 Columbus dollar is incuse __________________ Slab collector and researcher reported as of 12/29/06 132 companies 332 production varieties   10-31-2009, 01:29 PM   #8 (permalink) GDJMSP Numismatist     Join Date: Nov 2002 Location: PA Posts: 23,515 I stand corrected. Must be they are the only ones with the incuse mint mark then. I know they were a first for one of them. __________________ knowledge ..... share it   10-31-2009, 01:53 PM   #9 (permalink) Conder101 Numismatist   Join Date: Sep 2002 Posts: 4,448 I'll give you first coin with an incused mintmark, but all the president dollars and the native american dollars have incused mintmarks too. Incused dates too. __________________ Slab collector and researcher reported as of 12/29/06 132 companies 332 production varieties   11-01-2009, 07:14 AM   #10 (permalink) GDJMSP Numismatist     Join Date: Nov 2002 Location: PA Posts: 23,515 Shows you how much attention I pay to them. __________________ knowledge ..... share it   11-01-2009, 07:08 PM   #11 (permalink) tmoneyeagles Indian Buffalo Gatherer     Join Date: Feb 2009 Location: San Antonio Posts: 6,329 My Mood: I bought one a while back... 2001-D NGC MS69 Silver Buffalo. I was put in a situation to where I had to sell it, and I did. (I lost money on it, as I bought HIGH and sold LOW) I hope to get a set of MS and PF very soon, after I cross off PF64-65 Indian Cent and get some MS65/66 Morgans off of my wish list...(Well it is more of a "To-Do" List!) __________________ From The Desk Of, -T$ (Kokapowan Tribe Leader) http://www.tmoneyeagles.webs.com/   11-01-2009, 10:13 PM   #12 (permalink) green18 ANA# R3129541     Join Date: Sep 2007 Location: Long Island, New York Posts: 5,909 My Mood: Wait around long enough and the price on these will come down even more.....demand drives the premium. 500,000 is a lot o' coins.

The rationale for it was that more money could be raised for the Indian Bureau or whatever!! It never made it or these sets of coins would be even less rarer than ever!!
