Seems like the mint won't let anymore items be a little hard to get, and allow some to exploit that on ebay. Further proof: I bet they mint LP2 right up to the issuance of LP3; and LP3 mints up to the issuance of LP4.
Guam The 1000 coin bags were never completely sold out, the mint said they would be available later. With the low mintage it will probably end up being 10% of mintage(in bags & rolls). If the mint roll sets stay close to Puerto Rico in sales, they will still command a secondary market premium.
rolls A quite a few of the Puerto Rico roll sets have been selling around $40.00 +. I suspect a small premium like that for the Guam after they sell out. Unless some valuable errors are found.
Mintage? With Guam's mintage so much lower than the District of Columbia, why is the District of Columbia the winner? Lowest mint roll sets sold? I found the sales figures, just over 31,000 mint roll sets were sold of the District of Columbia. and Puerto Rico was way over 40,000 sets.
lowest mintage is not always the best. it depend on supply and demand plus the big institutions or investors, big dealers and rich collectors who push and support the price upward. where you get the district of columbia quarter mintage roll at 31,000?.
Website I Googled (District of Columbia mint roll sales) & stumbled onto this website. http://mintnewsblog.blogspot.com/2009/05/2009-us-mint-bags-and-rolls-sales.html (A May 30 blog, so the sales figures are probably dated).
Just as an fyi, I was at the Philadelphia Mint this morning. Outside their gift shop, they have a change machine. If you put in a $1, you will get 4 new Guam quarters; put in a $5, $10 or $20 bill, and you get the Tyler dollar.
if the mint really like to dispose all the dollar coins. put the lot of this machine all over america. then people can exchange them.
