<p>[QUOTE=&quot;krispy, post: 1010296, member: 19065&quot;]Just some of my thoughts based the OP&#039;s inquiry... <i>others will certainly differ.</i></p><p><br /></p><p>If you were in question about the price being &#039;good&#039; then you probably should not have&nbsp; purchased this coin until you were secure enough in mind to make the&nbsp; decision on your own confidently. Why did you buy this? Investment, collectible, both? </p><p><br /></p><p>To me, from two sides: bullion and collectible... </p><p>For bullion its a <i>bad</i> price, as these are collector coins which carry&nbsp; the significant Mint mark up over spot metals price. It is especially a bad price after the&nbsp; Mint raised the prices today due to the recent average PoG on a day when gold&nbsp; dropped. If gold continues to drop in price (most will tell you it will not) the price would retreat further based on the Mint Bullion Chart.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;1/10th ounce coins typically carry the highest premiums of all sizes of&nbsp; coin bullion and are not the best &#039;investment&#039; size bullion to buy for&nbsp; investment purpose. For that save your money and buy half ounce and one ounce coins. </p><p><br /></p><p>These collectible coins, all four sizes of 2010-W Proof AGE will sell&nbsp; out... but mostly due to hype after having none last year. There might&nbsp; be some flipping for a bit of a premium once they are removed from the&nbsp; Mint catalog (go off sale on the Mint site) but they may also be worth&nbsp; more in intrinsic metal price in the near future too depending on what&nbsp; the PoG is doing a few months down the road and into next year. </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><b>You also have cited the wrong mintage number for the 1/10th oz. coin. </b></p><p><b><br /></b></p><p>CoinWorld recently reported that maximum mintages have been set at:</p><p><br /></p><p><b>64,000</b> one ounce coins,<b> </b></p><p><b>54,000</b> one-half ounce coins,<b> </b></p><p><b>55,000</b> one-quarter ounce coins, and </p><p><b>66,000</b>&nbsp; one-tenth ounce coins. </p><p><br /></p><p>The above figures takes into account the separate maximums&nbsp; established for individual coins and <b>39,000 of each coin allocated to 4&nbsp; Coin Sets</b>.</p><p><br /></p><p>Buyers today are likely racing to get orders in asap to obtain the high grade coins for TPG grading. Those PR69 and PR70 graded coins will carry their own premiums. </p><p><br /></p><p><b>Enjoy your coin for the collectible it was meant to be</b> <i>or</i> invest in bullion&nbsp; versions if that is your purpose as you will maximize the money you&nbsp; pooled together to invest with.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
