<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Vess1, post: 26359276, member: 13650&quot;]I know many have written off the mint and I&#039;ve really cut back on acquiring mint products myself but is anyone in for a new laser engraved ASE tomorrow with the laser privy? </p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Wondering if the quality will actually be any better or if this is a gimmick.&nbsp;&nbsp; Made from laser engraved dies.&nbsp;&nbsp; I don&#039;t know how they were made before but maybe they&#039;ll always be laser engraved now?&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; 100k mintage and product limit.&nbsp;&nbsp; Some went to the ANA to be sold.&nbsp; Bulk purchaser program got some so I think there will be around 85k left when they go on sale at noon EST tomorrow.&nbsp;&nbsp; Household order limit of 1.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; It&#039;s not an extremely rare mintage but these days I think 100k is still low end to where not everybody who wants one will get one.&nbsp;&nbsp; Especially for an ASE release.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; Today I was thinking to myself &quot; I wonder how much the mint can charge for a proof ASE before people stop buying them?&quot;&nbsp;&nbsp; What will be considered too high and they don&#039;t sell?&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; These will be $105.&nbsp;&nbsp; They&#039;ve gradually been increasing the heat and price continually goes up every year.&nbsp; &nbsp; Apparently $105 won&#039;t be a barrier yet.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; The pre-sale flippers are already out in force selling examples of these in PF70 that they don&#039;t yet have.&nbsp;&nbsp; Prices are $330 to $400 for 70s so far.&nbsp;&nbsp; OGP $245 to $275.&nbsp; &nbsp; Again, I just want one but looks like will be in line with the flippers again, all working hard and fighting each other to maybe scratch out an extra&nbsp; $100 when its all said and done.&nbsp; &nbsp; I guess we can complain but the mints not capitalizing as much as they could on these given the aftermarket sales once again.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
