<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ewomack, post: 2649861, member: 15588&quot;]The hype over these pieces equaled the hype of a new Star Wars movie. But when they appeared, I heard a lot of collector complaints. Many expected the pieces to look very similar to the original pieces, but the ratio of gold to coin size didn&#039;t quite work out exactly for a few of the pieces and apparently some details were slightly altered. Plus, the premiums were high relative to the unfulfilled hype. Surprisingly, the set doesn&#039;t seem to have met expectations. All pieces are still easily found online and I&#039;ve seen them readily available at coin shows as well. This doesn&#039;t help the flippers. The bullion price also plays into it. Hopefully the mint won&#039;t use this as an example that classic designs don&#039;t sell. I didn&#039;t help at all because I didn&#039;t buy a single one, mostly due to the markups. Time will tell whether or not their collectibility value makes up for the premiums.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
