Not sure the Golden Ticket will be worth much if it wasn't certified? If you get the COA certified then the number of the coin goes onto the slab and the COA is also slabbed together that's bringing the big premiums. It's a first time thing for the Mint individual numbering of the coin on the COA and Mr.Ryders signature. It's supposed to create excitement because of the rarity. Number #2 coin PR-69 with signature $25,000? Go figure?

 

A guy who sell's china opened the Mint packaging to show off the coin and COA asking $10,000? How did these coin dealers get 100 and another 37 sold 13 more available? The Mint claims no Bots were used??

 

We live in a weird world when a COA with an autograph is worth way more than the coin. Just one more gimmick in the wacky coin Market.

 

Like i said go figure? I sent one in. I'm not a big fan of the ASE'S series except to view a bigger representation/ better strike of the original Walkers Mercantis eagle is nice but no comparison to the original one imho. The reverse proofs are interesting to me but the gimmicks only seem to work for dealers/ big tv coin shows not the collectors.

 

I'm guessing they snapped up the first ones to hit eBay. In the early running they could be had for $600.

 

Yes but the US Mint site continues to crash as it has been doing when something of any interest comes around like the 2011 25th Anniversary set. How do they take it out of your box when your paying? So many people had the same experience crashing freezing error sign's then there all gone? Bots! Why do the big TV shows have so many? i'm not sure if i can name companies but they had bounties for the coins as well. The Mint needs to upgrade it's a joke. What an advantage the East coast has. A large number were selling online from there! Oh well i don't purchase much from the US Mint but in the end the collectors lose out. $600 is outrageous for a $65.00 coin plus $4.99 s&h.

 

Signed Certification #3... only $90K. . "SELLER" !!!

By buying them from people who bought them from the Mint, of course.

You haven't bought it until you've paid. Would you rather the Mint reserve them as soon as somebody clicks "add to cart"? They would've "sold out" in seconds, not minutes.

Perhaps, but not in the direction you seem to think, given that they're now trading for $1800.

 

Look. Anyone that bought from one of the big coin dealers in the past knew they were all offering bounties if you bought this coin and sold it to them on the first day, it's what they all do with limited items they think will be hot. Some offered $50 over price, some offered $150 or $200 over price, but they were all doing it. Between that and them bing up predates and early listing that were cheap this is how they got their 100 or 300 or 1000. And Part of the reason the price went up. People selling a presale at $450 or listing a confirmed order on day one, the dealers snapped those up and relished them for more.

If they can't sell them that's their problem and many times that's what happens but it look's like they won on the gamble this time.

The dealers are gonna get what they need, it just depends on what it takes to pry one out of someone's hands or what it takes to get someone not interested, to be interested enough to spend the time to make a couple bucks and order one to sell to them for a little profit.

 

I didn't participate in this particular frenzy, but as a general principle, I wouldn't want the shopper in front of me at the grocery store checkout picking items out of my basket. I think "add to cart" ought to imply a reservation for some reasonable amount of time. Last time I ordered concert tickets online, my seat choices were reserved for 15 minutes or so unless I neglected to complete the purchase.

Just my two Zincolns.

 

This is one of those solutions I like, and is actually viable for them to implement at relatively low cost. They could give a 5 or 10 minute cart timer window where it's allocated/reserved. The server would crash still of course but it would lock up those transactions in process and if not completed in time, release it again for someone else to buy. It's still first come first serve, and doesn't show favoritism, and gives people a chance to figure out how to get it completed since the pressure is off, but I don't think even with a half hour everyone is going to figure it out and get the transaction completed.

On this one people started right on time and 15 minutes later still couldn't complete the order. Only reason I did was after the first minute I gave up on waiting for the error screens and just opened new windows over and over to get the the next step and that took me like 12 minutes and like 20 windows.

What I don't like about it is if people attempt to break the rules and tie up product they can't purchase, like carting 20 of them in 20 different windows and only one of them will complete because that's the limit and the address or card or both will invalidate the transaction but I think people will tie them up anyways. If there's a way to game the system people will figure out how to do it, humans are resourceful. Lol.

 

Thank you exactly my point. It was in my cart went to pay and i have done this game before except this time removing it from my cart? It happened to many others as well. Another US Mint blunder.

 

It was in my CART and i was paying then it's removed? So they ring it up at the store and then someone takes it from you? In what world is that right. I guess yours..
