And the reverse 70&#039;s will be the new &#039;95W&#039; ~ the unaffordable &#039;gee I could kick myself for not getting in on that one&#039; coin.&nbsp; They will very soon sit beside the 99 silver proofs, the 96 prestige and other like coins or sets that perch on shelves or in dealer show cases like trophys.&nbsp; The limits placed by the mint were abused by dealers with &#039;buddies&#039; all ordering their 10 set limits too and the phenominal increase has forced the average &#039;collector&#039; who may have truly wanted to just buy &amp; own one to HAVE&nbsp; to sell (imagine the pressure of the spouse, friend or coworker saying &#039;can you believe they are now selling for 6x issue.. you&#039;d be a fool not to sell&#039; so eventually this set will only belong either to the TRUE collector - the one not selling regardless of the offer - (no matter how much they go up) or the TRULY wealthy.&nbsp; What&#039;s the point? Oh, none... I guess. Just a bit amazing to see so much insanity circulating within a &#039;hobby&#039;.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
