I bought some extra 2013 coins when I saw the kinda low mintage. I keep 1-2 but I sell extras for a profit when I can.
These do not seem to want to come down. It has been almost 7 years now. They are not rare by any means (47,000+ mistakenly issued), but I think many who have them purchased at a higher price in the secondary market and would rather hold onto them than incur the loss. TC
Let's face it. The premiums for these bullion pieces are due to registry sets. None of the pieces can be considered scarce or rare. I think the lowest mintage piece is at 100K. There are a lot of people collecting these pieces. I don't know what's going to happen to future pricing, but if I were a betting man, I would be a bear rather than a bull. I like collecting them myself because out of all the modern options available, it is the most beautiful piece. I do buy most of the coins graded in 70's. It's more of a hedge than anything. I don't have many of the early coins in 70 because I wasn't collecting back then and am reluctant to spend that much for a bullion piece. Logic continues to tell me that coins hold their value when they are rare, scare, etc... These pieces don't even have conditional rarities, so I don't think they can hold their value long term.
there's a lot of ASE collectors out there and it seems like they are growing. there's way, way more than when I first started buying. a high/low pop. number is relative to how many want the coin.
