<p>[QUOTE=&quot;MrDSmith, post: 437148, member: 9745&quot;]I saw the unveiling in Baltimore this summer. It is a stunning coin but there were no proofs displayed. Ed Moy also spoke about the release in January, but did not set a date. As far as a premium goes, given the history of the coin, the unique Ultra High Relief strike, and the wood presentation box, I expect to see this sell for $1500. I also predict that reservations, if allowed, will sell out before any one sees the open market. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Ther was anothe rpiece of legislation introduced to make a pallidium cousin, which with current metal prices would be about half, if I am correct. Since gold isnt my thing, I may wait for the pallidium version. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>In either case I will say the same thing that I said about the SAE and GE&#039;s, if you want a Saint Gaudens design, invest in a Saint, and do it when the market has cooled off. If you like the SAE design, invest in a Walker. There has been a lot of hype about this and its connection to Moy&#039;s Neo-Renaissiance, but we have to keep it in perspective. The Mint&#039;s bullion coins are just carbon copies of old icons. If Moy really wants to spurr a radical change in coinage he needs to, for one, veer away from the mass and over production of mint products, and, most importantly, rededicate himself to the commissioning and creation of new designs that will invegorate the American Spirit and lift the malaise that has fallen in these chaotic times. That is what the Saint stood for. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>IMHO</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Rant Fin.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>--Adam</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>PS- I apologize for spelling errors.
