<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chrisbauman, post: 248136, member: 9097&quot;]<b>Jim, yes I did meet you a few weeks ago</b></p><p><br /></p><p>and I should be at the Redford show this weekend trying to get some more info on these smoothies- wow what a small world.&nbsp; &nbsp; Last night on ebay I saw a smoothie go for $660 and the buy it nows were cleared out in the past 12 hours and I think at this point no one is going to set a buy it now anymore in the $300 range.&nbsp;&nbsp; The listings seem to be going down on ebay and although being a novice collector it is hard for me to imagine any modern coin selling for $1000 or more, but when I see the 1995 W SIlver Eagle going for $5000 and with a mintage of 30,000 then it becomes logical to me.&nbsp; Furthermore, if you have 100k Washington smoothie collectors out there and if only 3000 or 4000 of these Adams smoothies show up then you could see how prices could sky rocket when you have 100,000 collectors wanting the adam&#039;s smoothies to complement their washington smoothie and only 3 or 4 thousand are out there.&nbsp;&nbsp; Like I said mine aren&#039;t for sale until prices are in the thousands and although there is a slight possibility that more could surface I would say that it is unlikely since we are already 6 weeks into the release date of these Adam&#039;s dollars.&nbsp;&nbsp; Also on our side will be the liklihood that the mint will probably drastically increase their inspection process to prevent a third embarrassment which is being well publicized each time in the news, so I can almost guarantee this is not the publicity they want.&nbsp;&nbsp; In other words, in my opinion, we aren&#039;t going to see anymore errors on the Jefferson Dollars or for that matter any future dollars.&nbsp; Furthermore, if you look at the state quarer program the unc rolls that are doing the best are the very first ones and I expect the same thing to apply with the president dollars- the very first ones will do the best in the long run as more collectors come aboard and need to go back and complete their collections.&nbsp;&nbsp; Finally, Washington, Adams, and Jefferson and legends just like Ruth, Cobb, and Gehrig were.&nbsp;&nbsp; What has happened to the cards of those three?&nbsp; They have skyrocketed over the years.&nbsp;&nbsp; I see the same thing happening with the first three presidents- their legendary status like Cobb and Ruth will help fuel the fire for these coins in the short and long term.&nbsp;&nbsp; To put simpily most people would rather have a Washington, Adams, or Jefferson coin instead of a Cleveland, Polk, or Madison coin and when you add an ultra rare mint error to the mix then I say it translates into prices in the thousands.&nbsp;&nbsp; Maybe I will see you this weekend.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
