<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Mr. Coin Lover, post: 659330, member: 16060&quot;]I have one and was fortunate enough to get one at a very good price.&nbsp; It is NGC at grade 69. Let me tell you a little background about this first, you probably already know all of this.&nbsp; If you do maybe someone else will gain something from it.</p><p><br /></p><p>The burnished dye series that this coin is, all have low mintages.&nbsp; Why is this? I think it might be that ASE collectors are more into the Bullion type and/or the proofs, so they simply don&#039;t sell as well.&nbsp; I mean your talking millons vs hundreds of thousands.&nbsp; After saying that the burnished dye may actually be the one to collect for the long haul period.</p><p><br /></p><p>The mint has stated the maximum number of the &#039;08 with &#039;07 reverse that could have been minted is 46,000.&nbsp; What the mint does not tell is how many of these coins they found themselves and did not not release (if any).&nbsp; I am not an error coin collector, but what I have read makes this&nbsp; important.&nbsp; If all 46,000 got released that would make this coin to be about ten per cent of the total mintage, which according to what I have read this is actually pretty high.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have also read that virtually all that are going to be slabbed have already been slabbed. If looking at the coin strictly as an investment I would first want to know what the NGC and PGCS populations are on the 69 and 70.&nbsp; I think that would give you a better idea to base your decision.</p><p><br /></p><p>I could sell mine for virtually double or a little more than I originally paid for it.&nbsp; Luckily I bought it as a collector so I really don&#039;t care to sell it. But, in a few years if it went up enough I would definitely be tempted. If I didn&#039;t have one already it would be a tough decision whether I would buy one now, so I guess I have brought this sort of full circle. The old crystal ball is the only real answer, but if you get one at the right price I would think there is more upside potential than downside.&nbsp; Hope this helps.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
