73,772 and I have exactly


NONE!

 

I have exactly none too.........

 

Zero here.

 

I'll bet there are more than 73,772 who don't have them!

Question for @Onofrio Bacigalupo

Is this due to a TPG or dealer scam that is controlling the market?

Chris

 

I got 4

 

That's 73,772 more Coins of the Century than we had in 2013.

I see everyone's none and raise with who cares/ed

 

They sold it to themselves for promotion. The "private buyer" was private because he didn't exist. It was all fake to create a big fuss.

 

I don't have any and don't want any.

 

The JFK coin is a one of a kind because it is the only 3/4 gold coin ever minted by the us mint and it was faithfully reproduced according to the '64 JFK half. I don't buy much gold but anytime I get a chance at one of these anywhere close to spot I'm buying.

 

I thought about buying one but never did so. Money was tight at the time and I could live with the coin.

 

The sellers belongs in jail!..
wonder how much would they offer to repurchase the coin from their "BIG FISH" customer...

 

No, it's from the US Mint.

 

I figured that since you have such a dim view of the grading services and dealers as a whole you decided to add the Mint to your list.

So, what is your point?

Chris

 

My point is that a lot of posters stated that the US Mint would coin the Gold Kennedy half dollars to demand. If you look at the mintage figures for other half dollars (silver or clad) or any other gold coins issued by the US Mint, the Kennedy Gold Half has a huge growth in value potential. Of course, I don't include the 1933 double eagle, which through contrivance, connivance, and corruption limited production to only 22. The connivance and contrivance were FDR's, the corruption was Israel Switt's, a Philadelphia jeweler and George McCann's, a US Mint Employee.

 

There are a lot of people who don't agree with you about the 1933 Double Eagle, and if you had any understanding about the procedures at the Cashier's Cage at the Mint at that time, maybe you would think differently. You also have to bear in mind that international politics played a BIG role in the final decision to allow the sale of the Farouk specimen while denying the authenticity of all others.

The gold Kennedy is another story altogether. Suppose you were one of the collectors who didn't get one of these commems because they sold out to buyers who were hiring other people to order more than the limit allowed? Do you think it would be fair? On the other hand, would you feel the same way if you were one of the buyers who was able to get 5-10 times the limit using these same underhanded tactics? I doubt it!

Personally, I think the Mint should continue striking them as long as the demand exists, and let the market determine the TRUE value of them. However, the Mint won't do this because then they couldn't charge their outrageous prices.
