Or will this be a yearly thing now?</p><p><span style="color: #0000ff">It is unclear at this point. Some are speculating this will become a yearly series. If it is a yearly series, the 2017 will be the only one with the special &quot;50&quot; privy (to celebrate 50 years of krugerrands). </span></p><p>- If it&#039;s one-year only, wouldn&#039;t waiting until a year or two later to buy find the coin with a higher premium? Not a lower price?</p><p><span style="color: #0000ff">If the coin remains popular and is held in strong hands, waiting a year would likely mean one would pay more. However, if MCM &amp; GovMint struggle to sell these (remember the mintage is 1 million), prices could come down when they try to clear out remaining inventory. Also, if flippers buy a significant amount and can&#039;t move it at a higher price, then we can see prices come down as large numbers come to market.</span></p><p><br /></p><p>- If it&#039;s going to be a yearly thing, wouldn&#039;t older coins go for a higher premium as well, compared to buying it now?</p><p><span style="color: #0000ff">When something is popular, the first year issue can hold a premium. However, if many people are disappointed or uninterested in future years, then we might see lower sales (mintages) in future years. That could mean that later years are valued higher. Remember the ATB 5 oz bullion coins from the US Mint? The 2010 bullion coins had a mintage of &quot;only&quot; 33,000. It was hard to order in some cases as all the authorized sellers kept selling out (or had complicated methods of ordering). These coins increased quickly in price (from $800-$1000 issue price for all 5 up to $2000-$3000 at peak values). However, the ATB program has not been as successful as the Mint originally believed it would be and we have seen lower mintages since that time (i.e. Hawaii in 2012). The 2010 coins are available now at lower prices than in 2011. </span></p><p>- Is MCM going to be the ONLY source of purchasing? Or will these end up in the hands of local coin dealers eventually?</p><p><span style="color: #0000ff">There are dealers in other countries (like Germany) that sell these. In the USA, MCM / GovMint are the exclusive dealers. Coin dealers might have some, but they would need to either buy from MCM (meaning reselling for even more) or buy from some collector that it willing to dump the coin at spot in order to cover some expenses (I&#039;d imagine very few of these cases).</span></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><span style="color: #0000ff">By the way, if you like the Krugerrand design, save up and buy a 1/10 gold. It will cost slightly more than 2 silver versions and less than 3.&nbsp; </span>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
