So I'm normally a Lincoln collector but when I went to buy the 2013 Glow in the Dark Dino I came across the wrapped rolls for $9.99 each with a limit of 1 per household. I added one to my order. I got an email a few days back saying they were back ordered. I just jumped on eBay and these are selling for $50+! Do you see this as a long term gainer or a short lived spike?
I'm new to collecting coins, so take my opinion for what it's worth. 1. I think what will make this a collectable is the packaging. 2. There are only 20,000 farewell rolls being produced. 3. People who aren't coin collectors will want in on these, perhaps for nostalgia reasons. 4. If the people I've read at Coin Talk represent the coin collectors of the world, they buy the coin and not the packaging. I'm sure there will be many mint pennies out there, so you won't see coin collectors searching for these in the years to come. My guess: It's a short lived spike. I give the rolls 3 years before they're sit on consignment gallery shelves collecting dust with a $50 price tag on them. People will eventually forget about the penny they won't care about the rolls... or if they do, they'll crack them open with their kids just because. What I don't know is how high the spike will go.
when i seen it on the web site i think it was coin news i called right away and they told me they were only selling to Canadian's
i dont know about the packaging side, but i had read another post saying the coin(circulating anyways) wont be worth anything unless there were very low numbers made. it was compared to when we lost the paper dollar. everyone hoarded them, and today theyre worth about a dollar.
i opened an account with them,maybe next time they have something i want i might get. Did it say when you will recieve them?
