Or was it like $3,000 a set initially?

Lets not take the first sales for 70s graded sets as the real price because of newbees or desprate buyers forking over 3k+ they took a high risk betting there would be a small amount of 70s set and for the moment they are loosing big as long as they dont sell at a loss they could recover some over time, smart money probably waited and will jump in at these prices but when the supply dries out then the real prices will be shown

 

The trend is down, and there is no disputing that. Smart money waits until they really fall. How far? Could they go up? Who knows.

 

Maybe I'll drop some cash on a graded set... NAH. Not on this rush graded and super hyped grading that's going on. Plus I could have shipped 2 boxes in but I took profit instead. Like many have said, this modern stuff, graded isn't the same as an old CC Morgan dollar coin with a high grade. Best of luck to all, anything north of $1500 is still good money.

 

I know this is a sensitive statement, but don't jump on the 1,200+ ASE 25th bandwagon just yet. Imho anything above the 1,000 level is an artificial bubble, and the result of people flipping. I am going to hold out, and suspect ASE sets to sell in the 600 range a year or two from now.

 

it wont fall. you can fool some of the people all the time.

 

Wow, what a jerk. Sorry you had to deal with that. I would point out where you mentioned payment methods in your ad, and if he failed to see that, than that's on him.

 

I think the farthest they fall is $1500 for ngc 70s and 100 over ungradeds for ngc 69s. that's just my guess though.

i think something similar happened to the UHRs when they first came out.

 

Agree with what you said. I for one almost always use credit card to pay for Ebay/Paypal purchase (except when Paypal charges me for foreign transaction fee), just to protect myself. Some sellers on EBay lie about the condition of their coins, I personally have several experience like that already!

On the other hand, when a seller accepts ONLY eCheck or Paypal balance, he should put this Disclaimer CLEARLY with Bold letters in his description of the item, so people who want to pay with Credit card will NOT waste their time for nothing. And if seller does that, perhaps NO buyers could complain about it.

 

How exactly can you tell whether a buyer is funding his paypal with a credit card vs. a bank account and/or cash in a paypal account? I don't think you can, can you?

 

I agree. Any procedure that deviates from the norm has to put others on notice, It is so completely unusual for a ebay seller not to take CC on PP, it has to be stated in: HUGE, BOLD type.

 

I do put the disclaimer CLEARLY with bold letters, and I even point out at the top to all bidders that they should read all the full descriptions including where I discuss how I accept payment by Paypal, and what other methods I accept in addition to Paypal. I have been on eBay for over a dozen years and have never had someone go psycho like this guy did. He refused to have any discussion at all, he must have read the disclaimer and the invoice I sent, and left me a completely undeserved negative which eBay will not take off because we all know that buyers are always right and sellers are always wrong.

 

With all due respect, I do not see how this prediction is based in reality considering that the 20th aniversary set has settled into the $300 range (it sells for a bit more but I am being conservative). The 25th has one more "unique" coin and one more common ounce of silver, and the two special coins in the set have mintages of 100,000 vs 250,000 for the one special coin in the 2006 set. With all of this in mind, how could the 2011 set possibly sell for (less than) twice the cost of the 2006 set?

 

Latest charts for:
Single sealed set,
total 177 sets

 

sealed box of five sets,
total 621 boxes

 

Steven,

Could you also post a graph for opened boxes (with all 5 coins).

Thanks, C.

 

I know it's a lot of work but lots of us would appreciate one.......

 

There are over 2000 single sets sold since 11/9. There's no way I'm putting all of those into a spread sheet.

Doing a search of "25th set" under coins & paper money returns 160+ pages(25 items per page) of completed listings. If I took the first unsealed set sold on each page, you would have a sampling over time of what has been happening with the price.

If anyone would be interested in this chart, let me know. I'll see what kind of interest there is before starting.

 

$670-855. Now 745.

 

I'm taking two sets to a local show tomorrow. I'll let you guys know what I get offered.
