Man, I should take out a second mortgage. Graded modern bullion is guaranteed to be an excellent investment.
the sad part is these will probably sell out FAST! The "pedigree" early release means something to people cause of ripoff shows like Coin vault... unsure how it really means much I mean a coin made in January or a coin made in December that is in MS70 condition is still the same thing really...the fact that people are willing to pay more for the early release just shows how little people know about coins... buy the coin not the label
It almost leads one to believe that the 100k mintage for 2011 was a diversion tactic for 2012. Some dude that created the higher volume commercials is playing chess, and came up with this marketing scheme. Everyone saw the 2011 Sets go up, and now they are going to make a sprint like a giant throng fighting for the last of the water. Guarentee the mintage will not be limited to 100k.
Its a good point really. Everyone has pilloried the mint for their decisions on the 2011 ASE set, yet look how many people are talking about mint products now. Personally I think the mint needed a limited release product that got people talking.
Everyone wants a "sale". First rule of marketing, start with the highest possible price, so you have room to run "sales" and make people think they got a deal.
I like how it has a 2 on it unlike the one from last year that only had a 1 and the one before that with a 0...but my favorite is the one from the year before that with the 9 on it, the nine just sets the coin off, I can spend hours looking at it.
