<p>[QUOTE="krispy, post: 698912, member: 19065"]Yeah, it's definitely not luck/superstition, that's some people's bias for promoting the 8-8-8 set. The packaging hasn't anything to do with it really, even you know that, look at the mintage figures of the individual coins which you post about often, they're <u>very</u> low and the return on investment for these coins can be very good since they sold at a good price when originally on sale from the US Mint. The 8 is just a symbol, and one heavily marketed upon in 2008 (and not only for selling coins, it was a 2008 Beijing Chinese Olympics year that heavily used the 8 as well, and Chinese GDP is also often wishfully forecast to be 8%!) therefore it's not a reasonable factor in numismatic nor bullion value and shouldn't cloud the difference between any coins in comparison either. It's whether or not you trust or allow marketing and symbolism to factor in, the packaging is superficial.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
