<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 1041185, member: 66&quot;]I won&#039;t cut them any slack on the &quot;edge letter problems either.&nbsp; They claim they couldn&#039;t do it because the planchets were &quot;paper thin&quot;.&nbsp; But they are actually almost twice as thick as the President dollars.&nbsp; And unlike the dollars the edge letting on the hockey pucks is being applied by a segmented collar during striking so there should be no problem with &quot;buckling&quot; of the coin.&nbsp; Unless of course the dies are buckling too.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>If the mint did I guarantee they WOULD be $50 over spot.&nbsp; Look at the proof silver eagles at about $20 an oz over spot for one oz.&nbsp; Five oz at that rate would be $100 over spot.&nbsp; Look at the regular one oz bullion coins.&nbsp; The distributors pay $2 an oz over spot.&nbsp; A five oz coin at that rate would be $10 over spot.&nbsp; But I can see the five oz being more difficult to make so say $4 an oz over spot.&nbsp; That would make it $20 over spot TO THE DISTRIBUTOR.&nbsp; By the time they get to the secondary market they could easily be $30 over spot.&nbsp; Of course then you have the 100K mintag which give the potential for the coins having a collectible value as well.&nbsp; So that could push the secondary price up even more.&nbsp; You also have to wonder how many of that 100K will go to the regular collector market, and how much will be bought up and marketed at a high price through the TV people.&nbsp; That could cause them to be had to get in the regular market for awhile and create a temporary artificially high market as well.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
