Is the UHR double Eagle a 1 year only coin? If so it would seem that this would be a better buy than the 2009 Buffalo proof. The mintage is over 100,000 at the moment, but if this is it I believe it will appreciate more than the 09 Buff.

Supposed to be a 1 year, but many people are getting them. If I were in the market, I would buy 1 already graded at around melt.

Dunno if they will get to it but there was a proposal for the Palladium UHR in 2010

We really don't know what will be a good buy yet. One of the early concepts that was very tough for me to learn was for me not to necessarily equate mintage with value. I can thank people like GDJMSP (Doug) and Hobo (Bruce) and many others for drilling it into my head that value is largely dependent on demand. For example, you could have a coin such as a First Spouse coin with less than 5k mintage and have no value because there is no demand or you can have a UHR with a mintage over 100k, but have incredible demand, thus have a more value coin. (These are being used as examples and not as stated facts) I stated this a while back on another thread.... Just plug in the coins in question to where you think they may fall.

High mintage + Low Demand>>>>>>Not really valuable

High mintage + High Demand>>>>>>Somewhat valuable

Low mintage + Low Demand>>>>>>Not really valuable

Low mintage + High Demand>>>>>Jackpot!!!

If you've got $24,021. laying around, Apmex is selling 20 OZ Austrian Philharmonics goldies with a USA limit of 2009 coins!! Comes out to $1201.05 ($113.05 over spot)
Maybe if our 5 wealthiest could get together they could get one!!

Well, this coin hasn't anything to do with this thread but I will endulge:
Apmex have had these 20 oz. Austrian Philharmonics on pre-order/sale for about a month now. I posted about them back on 10.02.09

I just entered did elaines Apmex in-stock trick by inserting all 9s in the quantity field and it says they have 29 of the 20 oz. Aus Phil coins in stock!

How about this one, I think it's even bigger... and purported to be the 'world's largest gold COIN'!!!

Elaines trick!? I thought that was my trick!

It WAS the biggest for awhile but Canada bested it a year or two ago with a 100 kilo piece with a face value of a million dollars.

With regard to the UHR, I just recieved mine and have been contimplating on whether to get it graded or just leave it in the mint box. Any suggestions?

An example of the 100 kilo gold coin will be exhibited by the Royal Canadian Mint during the American Numismatic Association’s World’s Fair of Money® convention in Milwaukee, August 8 – 12. The huge coin is over 20 inches in diameter, an inch thick and weighs a little over 220 pounds (3,215 troy ounces) of .99999 fine gold.
