How far can these coins go up?

In the mid 30's people got fed up with commemoratives, lots of speculation going on and "deals" made in the background. Heck even one of the great classic commemorative (spanish trail) was birthed by an el paso coin dealer that used them to get hudson halves (at the time worth more)

If you, as a collector, buy what you like and not what you think will make you $$$ you will be much better off. Some of the greatest collections in the history of numismatics are people that put the hobby before the $$$. they all did very well.

I really like the Smithsonian commemorative coins, I buy them not because i think they will be an investment, but because I like the design.
I ordered a ASE set because i really like the look of the reverse proof, I only bought one set.
as far as speculators go, if history is any example, then look at what they are doing and do the exact opposite and you will make a lot more money in the long run...

think of the lonely coin collector completing a mint state run off barber coins back in the turn of the century (or even in the 30's or 40's) most people could care less about barbers then... and now look at the prices

another example: V nickels. people hoarded the "no cents" type, lots of specualtion. no one cared about the "cents" version that the mint replaced it with. look at the values of that coin, same year. one had rampant speculation and is now mostly common and lower valued. its sister coin is 5 times as expensive...

I would venture a bet that the john marshal commem will be worth more than the marine dollar in 50 years. just a guess.

3rd spouse gold coin

i estimate the price for 3rd spouse gold coin during first few weeks can reach up & over $1,000.00. but when it become stable after few months of selling at e-bay. then, my best guest is 50% over cost.

 

jefferson 1st spouse

are you going to buy one for $429.00

 

jeff 1st spouse

Ileane wy on ebay would it go for 1000 in the 1st few weeks when you could get it from the mint in the 1st few weeks for 429 ?

 

Long term all these coins will be valued at little more than their bullion value -- just like the common date gold and silver coins of days gone by are. The key to making money in these coins will be timing your sale. Buy and hold is not a wise decision on these NCLT, and the vast majority of people that purchase these after their sale from the mint will lose money. All IMHO...Mike

 

I suggested an investment club for coins and was told that there are all kinds of legal problems with giving opinions far milder and based on far more real information then the likes this in public. And here we have a user with the name "Equity Coins" putting together a bunch of unrelated thoughts together and creating a prospectus for the 2006 ASE Anniversary sets.

I'm not allowed to express how I ***really** feel about public expressions of such sure fire profits in investments which are nothing but speculative, let alone that relative to other truly rare coins with far less value than $6000 US 2007 this common coins with a bullion value of about $15 has almost no chance of reaching the prices you quoted. And even if it ever did, it would be the biggest fiasco since the Dutch Tulip frenzy the the 17th century.

I don't know what the forum rules are for this kind of message, however some kind of control should be brought to bare on this because it gets deep into regulations on investment marketing and can land Cointalk into serious trouble if anyone ever really took this seriously and lost a great deal of money on this very bad advise. At minimum, people who post such claims should be forced to have full disclosure of their names and business activities within the areas of investment which such recommendations are being made.

Otherwise, why is this different than spam that it should not be removed from the boards?

Lighten up, Ruben. Equity coins stated an 'opinion', just like the previous two pages of participants. If he isn't charging for his opinion he isn't infringing on investment marketing regs. Just because you don't like his guesses, don't bash him!

 

Howdy,

I concur. If someone isn't charging for investment advice, they aren't bound by any sort of regulations. For that matter, the regulations that do bind this industry are in many ways and places non-existent. In most states you can hang out your shingle as a financial planner w/o any restrictions what-so-ever.

There is a LOT of discussion on this board about the investment possibilities of coins and for that matter, bullion. However, it's discussion and that should be welcomed. I think we're all big boys and girls and realize that internet 'advice' should be taken with however many grains of salt.

What I enjoy from this sort of discussion is the variety and polarity of opinions.

BTW, this morning on our favorite ShopAtHome coin merchant, they were selling NGC cert 69 ASE 2006 Anniversary sets for $1100, BUT, and this is very, very key. They had reduced their price from $1250, so just think of the bargain.

peace and please people, just relax a bit,

rono

 

mr.brooklyn

I just want to point out that this is **factually** untrue. It would be very easy to show that these posts by "Equity Coins" are designed to market and manipulate the market by motivating investors to make investment purchases outside of his own personal commerce. That not only makes it regulated business speech, but also requires full disclosure of the marketer, in this case "Equity Coins".

In addition, his analysis is flawed and he's talking in circles throwing investment jargon around, which he may or may not even understand, but which would underscore the marketing nature of his/her messages in this thread and which to the best of my ability to understand, is likely designed to obscure the general weakness of his argument. I leave it to fair minded readers to interpret the motivation of for "Equity Coins" to obscure his points with inappropriate and confusing language. It certainly doesn't clarify any of his points or support his conclusions.
