Mine, forever, will remain in the wild. Natural and original, unsullied by a third party 'box' and designation, it shall remain a testament to how things was collected in dem olden times......

 

Wow! Will ya look at how many pages this sucker has. Holy Mackerel.......

 

I was having fun reading some of the posts from 3-4 years ago (mine included)...:foot-mouth:

 

No need for 'hoof in mouth' it. I was a contributor too.........

Though we might be cited for resurrecting a long ago thread....

 

I'm really sad and disappointed I didn't buy this thing at that time. Now I'm one of the suckers that will have to pay up for one.

 

That's because these pieces will never be viewed as bullion, but rather, as collectibles.....

 

What I was hoping for was a lot of speculation and an overbought coin. What happened was it ended up being a winner because many were probably thinking the way I was. In the end, it's not my first and for sure not my last mistake.

 

I think this one is an important journal of our time...100 years from now scholars will cite this thread in important works of Numismatic literature...(be careful what you say!).

 

OK. I'll not muck it up........

 

I sold mine early this year. It was graded MS70 First Strike PCGS. I made three and one half times my initial investment. Sold to a dealer so there were no fee's involved. This was one, of only a few pieces ever purchased for my collection, I bought with the intent to actually sell.

 

Congrats on actually making money in this hobby!

 

Sam, i was 'avarice' with the 25th anniversary silver eagles set. Bought the limit with an eye to capitalize, and indeed i did, naughty fellow me. Not so with the ultra high's though........

 

That's why I normally don't invest but simply collect coins. I took a chance that gold prices would be rising. Then it became a hot collector item, but I had no premonition that was going to happen. Then, again with no premonition, I sold before gold prices began their current dip. I had two horse shoes in my pocket and a some major luck besides. It won't happen again in my life time.

 

A great old thread! With hilarious commentary and the famed, now extant, Elaine! LOL!

I rallied for this coin for a long time. Many ignored it and lots of people said it would be a looser, a bullion coin ready for the melt pots, but it has boomed! I bought mine late in the year and paid the higher retail price then, but have never minded that. It's a beautiful coin that I place in my top 20 list. I keep mine in OGP and haven't had a chance to buy another graded one before the prices shot up. Like Ken, mine will stay with me and free of a slab. I don't see much reducing the value of coins like this, the sort of "one of a kind" pieces from the Mint. Sort of like the bi-metallic commemorative Library of Congress coin. Those hold a strong numismatic premium where other commems and special collectibles fall off over time.

Thanks for bumping the thread!

 

But on the other hand, you probably did well stacking, enough that could reinvest in the collectibles now. :yes:

 

That may be true, but I like going up in ounces, and this one will take me down much more than I'm accustomed to. Oh well. I'm not going to make the same mistake with the reverse proof Buffalo, going to suck it up and buy it on release, I hope.

 

2009? Wouldn't a 1907 one be preferred?

 

tell luke yoda has come back in greens body
