HOF Silver Coins - To grade or not to grade

Received 5 silver proofs from Denver Mint order today. I know 5 is a small sample size, but from what I'm seeing & hearing, there's going to be a high rate of 70's, making the 70 premium small. 4 of mine must be 70's with 1 69, which I didn't find until viewing the last one. I was at the point I was hoping for some 69's, so I could sell some - I don't sell the 70's, they go to the SDB.

It will be interesting to see what they're paying. Typically you'd get a lot more by selling them on eBay.

 

600 for gold and 60 for silver

 

Interesting, so TPG's make more money the higher they grade the coins.

 

Going back to the OP, how do you find 19 morons who were willing to pay more than what the mint was charging for them? Are these about to be banned like hi-cap magazines or something?

 

They're sold out.

 

That is way way to low.

 

Should we all sell at current prices? I don’t know on this issue, it could go either way. Two other high mintage sell outs, the Buffalo Dollar has held its increased value at $150 to $200 and much more for a 70, yet the Franklin Dollars sell at close to issue price. If the HOF coins remain the only curved coin, who knows.

 

I personally think the gold will level off but the silver will continue to rise. That's just my opinion but the price point has room given the demand base of ball fans. My $.02

 

On bulk submissions, yes. But, my understanding is the coins that don't meet the minimum grade don't get slabbed either...and slabbed does raise their overhead costs due to materials and time.

 

I don't think they'll make another curved coin for at least another year. They have lots of other normal sets coming out this year. Besides, these high mintages will probably keep them busy for a while.
