I have noticed the ads for UHR eagles have all but disappeared in coinworld in the last few months. Is this coin going to be a big winner as a 1 year type coin after they quit minting (2009)? Lack
UHR a winner? The UHR St. Gaudens coin is a sleeper. There _should_ never be another coin like and there are only 112,065 of them in the marketplace. A lot of people want them, but couldn't afford them this year. The price of gold went up several times. It is said that each time gold went up, UHR sales slowed. I think things picked up a bit at the end of the year as the price backed down off $1500+. You can think of the premium on these coins as a hedge. If gold prices drop, these coins will in the long-term retain their value more than the less interesting variant coins. If gold prices rise, they probably will follow gold for some period of time. Now that so many people are introduced to buying gold, many will stay no matter what happens. The rare and interesting variants will stay in vogue. Note that regular gold eagles have problems. They are alloyed coins which are becoming less popular worldwide. Since nobody anticipates regular use of gold coins, the alloyed varieties are now becoming less acceptable. --fever
