WITH PRICES THEY WAT THEY ARE GOING, I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE WHAT THE BUFFALO SET WILL DO. I MAY JUST BUY 10 OR SO SETS AND LIST THEM MYSELF !!!!! ANY THOUGHTS ??????
I would say that you have joined the ranks of the hundreds possibly thousands of others who will be doing the same thing. as for me I will put some away ,a few rolls more than likely, of each mint, maybe my grand kids will be able to get a dollar or two over face for them .
I am curious to see what happens to the value. I was amazed that the Peace medal sets are already selling on eBay for over $80, and the people selling them don't even have them in hand yet. I'm sure the mint is going to release more of the buffalo series since the demand was so high for the Peace series.
Recently, I was at a coin shop and the dealer, a customer (who originated the joke), and myself were joking about how funny it would be if some jokester at the mint tooled off one of the legs. Imagine that, a new 3-legged buffalo for us to collect!
If even 10% of the folks who threaten to put BU rolls of these things away, it's sure to be common in mint state once specuative froth has cooled. That happens from time to time in numismatics -- something is perceived to be so valuable that they are hoarded right as they leave the mint. And in so doing, they become common as dirt in the future. Think "1950-D nickel" here.
Look what happened with the 1893 No Cents Liberty nickels. The mintage was lower and it was the first in the series, yet it is priced lower than the Cents variety because people saved them as soon as they came out and now they're easier to find in higher conditions than the Cents.
