I'm not from Texas, but they had one of the best quarter designs. For the palladium coin, I wish they had done something new. But, on the other...
One of these days I'll get around to buying some actual physical palladium. But I already have plenty of mercury dimes. I hope the market study...
No, it will be too late. They'll probably discontinue the whole First Strike label program by then anyways.
You can always get the coins graded. It just depends on how much you want the common coins in the set to have a label indicating they were at one...
Don't buy those ones. Wait until they come out with the set layered in pure presentation 24k gold. Those will be super rare. ;)
I don't know. I suspect the price will settle in somewhere within $200 of where it's at now.
I don't like how it has that meteorite stuck in it, but that was a brilliant idea for a coin design.
I don't think you should do it. It's getting to sound really complicated with you judging people's merits and stuff. But I do admire your...
Open it and submit the two rare coins if they look good. The whole label thing for the common coins is silly.
When you shake on a deal, you're committing to it (you're giving your word that you're really buying it). The way I think about it is that when...
You can't blame him for contacting the photographer. I don't get the point of that part of the story. Bottom line is he cancelled three orders....
They make the coins that the treasury and Congress tells them to make. That's the main goal. As far as maximizing profits goes, it is unclear....
I think the prices could drop just because there will be so many available. But what about after the hoopla dies down? $700-800 seems high, but...
My order was just officially cancelled by the Mint. I then deleted my account.
The issue prices are irrelevant, especially for the 2011 set. The Mint badly mispriced it (unless the aftermarket price crashes).
Who knows? The best investment might be to sell it now and buy it back later. How much extra do you think you'll get for keeping the box sealed...
Who are these people shelling out $1000? Everyone we hear from so far is doing the selling. I would love to hear from some buyers.
I got the same email. What a joke this whole thing has been.
I'm watching the single Reverse Proof and -S auctions because that is probably how I will sell mine if I get them. Bids are around $300 apiece now...
Most First Strike coins don't sell for more than $18 over the Non-FS coins. In most cases it's not a good investment.
