2007 US mint winners (predictions)

What will the reverse proof eagle of 2007 be. You probably know of much of what the mint will be offering, now give us a prediction of which ones will be winners!


I always try to get the unc $5 gold commems (if I have the dough) so I choose the jamestown unc $5

Also I think the unc $10 first lady coins will be winners.

For me I like all gold commems $5 and $10. But the BIG BIG prediction will be the Platinum Eagles Anniversary Set. I am going to stick my neck out here and say the mint will have a complete "Reverse Proof" set forr this event! Big Bucks as well..with 3 to 5K maximum mintage!
How's that for a prediction??

I am with you RickieB, think the 10th anniversary platinum set will be the next biggie and the the next time we see the reverse proof. Shade of the Gold anniversary set all over. The mint and proof mint sets with the presidential coins will also big

 

I agree the Plat set if the mintage is low. Long term it may be the coins nobody want now though.

 

I see a potential Platinum anniversary set as one that will be nice to have and will see some rise in value. The main problem with this set, of course, is that at several thousand dollars, very few people can afford it. So, even if it's popular, the force of the entire collector market won't be behind it, say as much as the silver anniversary set where a much larger portion of the population can scratch together the necessary funds. Of course, if the mint did something like release a Reverse Proof 1/10 oz single, that sucker could take off.

I just don't see the presidential dollar / first wives coins going places...we'll see. Maybe it's because I don't like them. The first set of first wives will see some popularity along with select other coins. In the end, large portions of the population buying them will buy the popular ones (Jacqueline Lee Bouvier Kennedy), but the real winners may be the ones that nobody wants at the time. Let's face it, a lot of those old bitties aren't going to make pretty coins. :goofer:

The Jamestown coins will be pretty popular I think and may be good bets (especially the gold coins).

It will be fun to wait and see.

The real winners in 2007 may be the winners from 2006! Once people realize that a whole series of uncirculated W coins even came out :rolling: , those might get hot. Also, the 20th Anniversary AGE, ASE sets (and particularly the Reverse Proof singles) will continue to be desired.

Ya know Tcore...you just might have a real insight here! I agree with you 100% :hug:

What you would not buy.

What coins would you not touch under any reasonable circumstance ( new from the U.S. MInt ) .

 

the first lady coins ...yuck ...bring on the Buffalo fractionals !!!!!!!

 

The draped bust Lady Liberty will steal the show this year.

 

On my wish list and my prayer list would be the presidential 4 set proof Silver, a definite no brainer. Even in the mint and proof sets they will still be a winner.

The platinum, well the anniversary label will cause a lot of itchy fingers on the key board and the telephone to order theses things. Everyone know however that the mintage will determine how hot the platinum are. Most agree that the Anniversary gold sets could have sold a whole bunch more if they had been minted. It is hard to see the mint limiting the production of these these platinum sets to a one day sell out limit

 

While I don't disagree with you, I found it interesting that this is exactly what many people thought about the 3 coin AGE set (~$2,600). It is too expensive for most people, collectors won't be behind it, etc. and... it sold out quickly and the secondary pricing has been high.

I'm not sure Plat is quite as well desired as Gold though. Something 'bout that golden metal...

 

$4500 to $5500 on ebay

 

I think the thing that made the gold set so popular was the very low mintage for the gold reverse proof. Compared to earlier releases it came in lower than the rest.

If they do a Plat set over 5000 I don't think it will be as popular as the gold set was just based on relative mintages. I mean they just released the UNC with mintages down to 2500 and some still didn't want to buy that one.

 

Platinum or gold ?

I think Platinum and some of the other unobtaniums are very nice but nothing seems to have the feel and look of a fine piece of art on a gold coin. I really do not know what the rest of the world does in platinum,or if the interest is sufficient to delve into that area. Colored Titanium by use of heat looks pretty cool ,different temps produce different colors. I have observed there are about 150 variations of Titanium. Aircraft , medical and tool alloys are a few.

 

I want to ask a question before the colts game. As a new one with little experience in matters I am wondering if the fact that so many people missed out or regret not getting the Anniversary gold eagles that the key word "anniversary set" will have enough influence on the public in general to make this a highly collectable Set. Let me add to that the Silver anniversary set seems to be smoking also. Lots of people feel they missed out on both the gold and silver anniversary set and now another anniversary set.

Are they going to make an Elvis commemorative. If not what will be the secound commemorative this year if anyone knows.

 

That silver anniversary set was also popular because of the low mintage relative to the regular releases, so it was bought up because it was almost guranteed to be a winner like that silver Buffalo coin was.

Also gold has a long history in US coins, but platinum has only been out for about ten years in total. So that seems to be one drawback for the coins, also the higher price of the metal compared to gold.

I think a mintage of 3500 sets would be right for the platinum to be highly received, 5000 tops. 7500 and it falls over recent mintages of other coins.

 

Don't get me wrong, I think that a Platinum Anniversary set will do well within its target audience. All I'm saying is that its target audience is not the general public or even the coin collectors who buy some Gold Eagles and a few fractional Platinum Eagles occassionally. This set, if it contained all denominations would be targeted towards more well-off collectors and those that specialize in Platinum in particular. It's in a different league than the Silver Anniversary sets which at $100 wasn't too hard to convince a large percentage of the coin collecting public to want to get one (whether they collect the Silver Eagle series or not). I think all of you have great ideas about what will be hot and what will not. It will be fun to see if any of us hit the nail on the head!

 

2007 prediction

nothing good investment for 2007 mint products as compared to previous years. the presidential first year series will be popular. but as far as prices appreciation. i think nothing for 2007.

 

It would be very interesting if the US Mint combined a fractional Reverse Proof APE,
say with the Presidential Dollars in Silver, as well as a special
edition of the Sacagawea dollar (perhpas also in silver) for the anniversary set .
This would be limited, attractive, and affordable.

 

the huge quantity of material being offered this year (it is just mindblowing if you think about it - especially if they throw a silver presidential dollar on top of it) will create some rarities. Mostly it has to do with potential sudden stops on offerings (keep a close eye on the mint site) that leave collectors going to the secondary market.

Trust me, the big boys will not stock up on all of these offerings, they just can't afford to do that.
