Ok thank you, I bet she does!

 

UHR double eagle pass 100K. the latest is 100,704 pc. what is next? 120,000. two more months ending 2009. i think anniversary or exact one year offer might be around 125,000 to 130,000 range. and hopefully the mint will end it.

 

I think next will be 100,705

I hope there will be a 2010 UHR Gold and Palladium set available, sometime late in the year preferably. I would also prefer to be able to buy the coins separately and 'fill' the box from Mint they are sold with, but that will likely not happen and we'd have to fork over close to $2000 for the set by then.

 

Wow.. 100,000 UHR Double eagles were made so far?

Ah jeez, I'm thinking about selling mine then.. I mean, how good of a long term play can this be?

It's not like mintages are limited on this one.

 

can the 2009w american buffalo one ounce 24k gold proof surpass the sales of UHR double eagle $20.00 24k gold uncirculated coin?. currently UHR sales is 100,704.

 

8-8-8 prosperity set now worth between $2,650.00 to $2,850.00. original cost is $1,097.00. then it went down to $1,047.00 due to gold down one bracket.

but UHR double eagle still have it from the mint at $1,439.00. original cost $1,189.00. then it went down to $1,139.00 due to gold down one bracket.

 

UHR double eagle - 101,266

 

uhr double eagle final - 115,178

 

Thanks

 

I would never have guessed that a $20 UHR would sell in that quantity, especially with the surcharge over melt.
But then again, some of the gold $5 coins had sales 2x that of the UHR

If we assume a $300 surcharge, that translates to a gross profit of $30,000,000. I will assume that Moy will crow about that.

 

Horizon

With 2010 not showing any exciting gold buys, the 2009 UHR may find takers in the secondary market by mid year.

Not sure if 2010 will be all that significant but I have been posting the praise of this coin to the contrary views that this is just a bullion coin of one year issue. I foresee this coin will be slow to emerge as a sought after piece by collectors and the high mintage will be of no significance in determining numismatic premium. Anyone recently or currently snubbing these coins or sending them to melt will likely wish otherwise in a few years. IMO

 

I'd agree with this sentiment. Demand will eventually outpace the mintage since this was a one-time deal.

As has been said in this thread over and over, this coin is remarkable in every way, shape and form. More people will realize this and come to want one for themselves so, as you see, the demand for this coin will continue to grow but mintage will stay the same.

 

An interesting article from MintNewsBlog.com about recent realized prices of the UHR since it went off-sale from the US Mint web site:

2009 Ultra High Relief Double Eagle Prices [2/11/2010]

 

Interesting read Chris. The article should make anyone who purchased these feel much better in regard to the taunts that the issue is just another bullion coin.
I will point out that the author is incorrect in his statement that the original price of the coin from the mint was $1089......$1189 was the original selling price.

 

You hit the nail on the head about those who snubbed this coin as mere bullion... that's part of my reason for sharing this article, even IF this is just a trend as is common amongst dealers and collectors of this hobby. Next year this time this could be a bullion coin, or five years from now... but I truly don't think this will be the case. I think the UHR is a very special coin, maybe eventually even more special because it's 2009, one year of issue only (so far) and of only one variety, no fractionals and whatnot, unlike the now highly priced and sought after 2006w-2008w buffalo coins, the UHR may outshine all the current hot trends amongst collectors in time. Lastly 2009 might be a really hot year for collectibles for the future despite high mintages of most coins. A very pivotal year perhaps.

And... Good eye Ken! You should shoot the author an email, I think the folks at MintNewsBlog.com encourage reader feedback and corrections openly
