<p>[QUOTE=&quot;sio2ga, post: 2679222, member: 83570&quot;]I don&#039;t subscribe to Coin World, but I heard that MCM ran an ad advertising the raw coins for $39?&nbsp;&nbsp; This really surprised me, since the South African Mint was charging ZAR 600 / US $43 for them at the time.&nbsp; I didn&#039;t see how they could charge LESS than the mint after paying freight, and then I thought they were just trying to cut their losses on coins that were culls that came back from NGC as not meeting their lowest-grade limit.</p><p>&nbsp; It would be reasonable for them to charge $60 if they were buying them from the mint and having them shipped here and then selling the coins unsearched. They are entitled to make a profit so I wouldn&#039;t have a gripe if the coins weren&#039;t culls.</p><p>I&#039;ll probably buy one coin for $60 just to have for now to go with the graded one I bought because I don&#039;t want to wait a year or two for the price to fall to $24 or $30 as others have mentioned.</p><p>I just wonder how many coins MCM/GovMint will sell at $60 each though?&nbsp; I wouldn&#039;t think it would be a whole lot of them.&nbsp; I know a lot of the posts in general on the forum&nbsp;&nbsp; seem to be from stackers.&nbsp; This coin isn&#039;t a bullion coin at all and of course it&#039;s not suitable for stackers.&nbsp; I&#039;d think coin collectors would want the coin, even if they had to pay $60 for it.&nbsp; It&#039;ll be interesting to see how this works out and it&#039;ll also be interesting to see what the coin will bring a year from now.&nbsp; I&#039;ll be the first to admit that I don&#039;t know a whole lot about coins, but I tend to think this one will hold its value a little better than what some think.&nbsp; It&#039;s the first silver Kruge and it has the 50 year jubilee privy and the mint is asking $40 for it instead of a few dollars over spot.&nbsp;&nbsp; I think it&#039;ll be comparable to the American Eagles.&nbsp; I know I searched ebay and those from when it first came out are bringing quite a few dollars more than spot.&nbsp;&nbsp; The 2017 silver Kruge has a mintage of a million coins which is a heck of a lot , but ..............&nbsp; &nbsp; it&#039;s a big world and I&#039;d imagine that coin collectors all over the planet would be interested so that probably works against the high mintage.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
