<p>[QUOTE=&quot;CamaroDMD, post: 1915116, member: 5233&quot;]I was hoping to get a little more clarification into what you were asking because this is a far more complicated question than you might realize...so it needs more than a &quot;Yes or NO answer.</p><p><br /></p><p>First, let me point out that this is a collector coin and while there is bullion value in them (at least the gold and the silver)...due to the collectivity of the coins, you can&#039;t really use that to determine its investment value.</p><p><br /></p><p>So...my answer as to if this is a good investment depends on where you bought it from.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you got the coin from the mint and intended it as a short term investment...the answer is <u><b>HECK YES</b></u> it was/is a good investment.&nbsp; If you were lucky enough to be one of the first to get your coins and flipped it fast...you stood to make a very nice profit due to the immediate hype of this coin.&nbsp; Even now, they are still selling for a quite large premium over their original sales price.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you got the coin from the mint and are keeping it for a long term investment...I still think it is a good investment if you consider a good investment to be something worth more than its original price.&nbsp; Now, it is hard to really tell how good it will be.&nbsp; From what I have seen with past mint products like this one...many of these &quot;super popular&quot; out of the gate coins sell for crazy prices for a few months before they come crashing down.&nbsp; But, often they crash down but settle out at a price still above their original sales price.&nbsp; How much higher?...well, that depends on the coin.&nbsp; I expect this coin to always be worth more than the original mint issue price...but who knows how much more.&nbsp; My guess is not a ton.&nbsp; IMHO, the ROI on these types of coins is too unpredictable the be a &quot;safe&quot; investment.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you got the coin on the secondary market ...I would say no, it&#039;s not a good investment.&nbsp; Like I said in the previous paragraph, these coins are selling for very high prices lately and I expect them to drop.</p><p><br /></p><p>Bottom line, unless you are in the position to really make a big splash with new mint products...avoid them.&nbsp; The people who were able to buy the coins from the mint at the release coin show a few weeks back and walk them through grading and get them on eBay were in that position.&nbsp; Many people who ordered online are still waiting for their coins to come in the mail and by the time they arrive...the market may have cooled.&nbsp; I think the risk is too high for someone in your position to try and make a profit off these coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you want them for your collection and suspect an item coming out might be one that will end up more expensive on the secondary market...buy it from the mint (like I did with the 25th anniversary set).&nbsp; But, I wouldn&#039;t try and use them for an investment.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
