I believe there is nothing wrong with selling a piece of history. If no one ever sold pieces of history, then none of us could collect most of the things that we do.

 

I'm sure there are quite a few people who buy (say) four pieces of history like this, then sell three of them at enough of a profit to cover the cost of the fourth.

 

Well obviously, but not right after he makes the thing, and actually still is making, that simply shows all you care about is money. This is not history yet maybe 10-20 years down the line is when you would sell it.

 

Not necessarily. Selling it on ebay just opens new markets. Some aren't secure in buying from a website, but they may like the buyer protection that ebay offers. Plus, on ebay one may see the actual item offered instead of receiving a random specimen.

Also, there should be no restriction to when an item may be sold. The sellers on ebay are not forcing anyone to buy the item. A potential buyer can research the item and discover for themselves where they want to purchase from.

 

Sure hope my order gets here today, expecting a couple of the two ounce tokens and a 1/10th oz gold owl. Also put on a new Cervini 4" cowl hood...it's a PR70DCAM.

 

And you're not putting it in a slab to protect it?!

 

down the line is when you would sell it.[/QUOTE]

I'm not shunning the buyers, simply the sellers. To each their own, I just know I wont be selling mine!

 

That would eliminate a decent portion of the modern market if things have to be at least a decade old to sell them

 

I looked and couldn't find any - even checked sold. What are you seeing?

 

You guys are reading way to much into this.. I'm just stating my opinion, that I don't think people should be selling these already. Way too soon.

 

There's one guy in Chicago that is selling an overstrike for $275 and a smooth edge 1oz for $125.

Typically, the first few coins of a new offering on ebay can sell for substantially over issue price even while still available at MM then they start to peter out and go for less but still above issue price. He may get what he's asking. At first I thought the 1oz might be the reeded edge which would probably sell at $125 quickly since its sold out already and has such a low mintage. That said both will probably sell as some people just like buying off eBay and not other websites even if they have to spend more

 

On a serious note, when these coins are struck do you get a new reeded edge or is it what the original coin had?

 

A new one unless it is broadstruck. You need a collar to cause the metal to be pushed up into the die devices. If he uses a smooth collar on a reeded coin the reeds would be severly flattened or vanish all together.

 

It's got a clear coat on it, does that count?....

 

Yes, but not covered for deterioration under the "guarantee".

 

That's fair and I respect your opinion.

 

What search terms are you using to find these? They're not coming up for me.

Who would buy these for more money when they are still available? Dan takes PayPal unlike the USMint. I can understand listing them once they sell out.
