[QUOTE="benveniste, post: 1077731, member: 25547"]I flipped mine already. It took me about 20 minutes to photograph the coins and list them on eBay. It took less than half that time to get my BIN price, even though my listing read in part, "I don't think these coins are worth my asking price." I agree that the current prices reflect a speculative bubble. They also reflect artificial scarcity, since several of the AP's haven't gotten their retail sales operations running yet. OTOH, just before Christmas I predicted that the price will settle out between 150% and 225% of bullion. Now I'm leaning towards the upper end of that scale, so I sold them at a price where I could make a charitable donation and still have a hope at buying a set at a later date. Since the 2010 "Collector's Version" coins will have a "P" mint mark, my guess is that they'll be treated as a separate collectible and will trade at a slightly higher price.
