<p>[QUOTE=&quot;illini420, post: 682850, member: 19423&quot;]Even if gold prices are cut in half, you&#039;d still need to have folks out there who are willing to sell their $600+ first spouse coins at a loss.&nbsp; With only a few thousand of each of the 2009 coins sold, there aren&#039;t too many out there to begin with and I would expect very few of the people buying now will ever be willing to sell them for any significant loss, regardless of gold prices, unless they are forced to do so.&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Even if gold prices dropped to $500/oz. I know for sure I&#039;m not selling my First Spouse coins for anything less than what I paid.&nbsp; I&#039;m guessing I&#039;m not the only one who feels that way.&nbsp; But if gold rises to $1500/oz., I may dump them all at melt prices and take the profits.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>So I wouldn&#039;t count on many being available in the secondary market unless gold prices rise enough to where melt value exceeds the purchase price, only then will the holders be motivated to sell in order to take a profit.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>By the way, are you trying to talk me into selling my set??? <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; You&#039;re doing a pretty good job :goofer: </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Cool story about the 1916-D dime too.&nbsp; I&#039;m sure there are a ton of coins we could buy today that have a much better chance of appreciating like that dime than the First Spouse coins do.&nbsp; So why am I still buying these???&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie5" alt=":confused:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
