2011 W $50 Gold Eagle Burnished is SOLD OUT ?

From what i'm hearing the 2011 W $50 Gold Eagle Burnished is SOLD OUT from the US mint. the US mint site is not showing sold out but is not allowing orders. If the 2011 W $50 Gold Eagle Burnished is sold out then there is a chance of it being a really low mintage. the final stats are not in yet but according to the link below the mintage might be low.

here are previous AGE Stats http://goldeagleguide.com/mintages/

any chance these will command a higher premium than other $50 gold eagles ?

I know the 2008 W burnished 1/4 OZ Gold Eagles command a high premium.

I am predicting that the final audited mintage of the 2011W $50 AGE will be 8,884, which is exactly one coin greater than the final audited mintage of the 2008W $10 AGE. :devil: I think interest in US Mint products is decreasing. These were available for about one year with many touting that it was a sleeper, and they still did not sell well. I think it was a good buy for those who got in at the lowest price especially to flip but would not pay the moon money being asked on EBay right now. TC

 

Latest mintage = 8810 as of 1/18/12. There may be a final report on them next week. TC

 

thank for the info

 

here are some high "BUY IT NOW" prices on EBAY. http://www.ebay.com/itm/2011-W-50-AMERICAN-GOLD-EAGLE-UNCIRCULATED-1oz-COIN-25TH-ANNIVERSARY-MS70-MS70-/220924550964?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3370211f34#ht_2090wt_1165

so we will have to see how it plays out. the 2011 $50 W gold eagle UNC. BURNISHED could be the lowest mintage gold eagle of all denominations .

I don't know much about playing the low mintage game, but if you would buy 1 of these on the basis of lowest mintage, isn't there a very good chance there will be another coin with even lower mintage in a year or 2 or 3 or 4? I mean sure, if you can get it close to metal value, but does it really make sense to pay a hefty premium for it?

 

I already own one. paid bullion price a few months back when gold fell. (just a little over spot) . it may or may not be a key coin in the future. only time will tell. I know other forums are totally hyped up about it.
