<p>[QUOTE=&quot;JJK78, post: 1309629, member: 19207&quot;]Yeah that is a real shame all those blanks and struck coins were melted down.&nbsp; Heck I would have been glad to store them in my basement for only a handful of blanks <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; I could easily fit 30~ monster boxes in my basement for them... for safe keeping <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>I do remember a lot of people claiming the UHR&#039;s would be just bullions coins and all I could do was laugh at them.&nbsp; I do think the comparison of the 25th SAE set is very compareable with the UHR.&nbsp; I remember also that many dealers were offering to buy the UHR&#039;s for a very quick profit initially paying $300-$400 over issue price for unopened mint packaging just like these.&nbsp; Somehow just because flipping has become an easier and more popular thing to do, does not mean that the collector market has dried up and a 100,000 mintage is hardly comparable to the numbers of collectors out there who want or will want this set.</p><p><br /></p><p>We are all pretty informed around here but I guarantee there are still lots of collectors out there who are still hardly aware of this set.&nbsp; After all it only went on sale a month ago!&nbsp; Let&#039;s not forget that all of the sets which are graded and selling for high dollars now are more then likely being purchased by collectors who are going to store them away for many many years and will not likely sell them for less then they paid, thus thinning out the market of available sets.</p><p><br /></p><p>Without straying too much, do a quick search of Ebay for the 20th anniversary set, I did and just for 139 active listings.&nbsp; This is for a set with a 250,000 mintage which is only 5 years old and you could NOT ask for a better time to try and sell them!!&nbsp; Now divide that mintage by 2.5 and you have a good comparison for the 25th set which would make about 55 sets available. Quick pricing breakdown from ebay completed listings on average~</p><p><br /></p><p>Unopened sets from mint going for $500~&nbsp; 5x issue price</p><p>MS70/PF70 sets selling for $1300~ 13x issue price</p><p>MS69/PF69 sets selling for $475~ 4.75x issue price</p><p>Opened OGP sets selling for $375~ 3.75x issue price</p><p><br /></p><p>Original issue price of $100~ so now they are commanding quite the premium now... plug those numbers into the 25th Anniv set and see what happens to the price per set...</p><p><br /></p><p>Unopened OGP = $1500</p><p>MS70/PF70 sets = $3900</p><p>MS69/PF69 sets = $1425</p><p>Opened OGP sets =$1125</p><p><br /></p><p>I think that these are very realistic numbers in 5 years... only time will tell![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
