<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Vess1, post: 441354, member: 13650&quot;]I&#039;ve had the 2006 PF Old S.F. mint silver dollar for some time now.&nbsp; I really like how they used the reverse of a Morgan for the back.&nbsp; Like having what a perfect proof would have looked like.&nbsp;&nbsp; So I recently decided to get the $5 gold PF to go with it.&nbsp;&nbsp; It sports an identical reverse as the old Liberty head half eagles that I really like as well, which I thought was</p><p>&nbsp;neat.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <img src="http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f203/vessxpress1/coinalbum2/EagleGold.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; So I started looking around ebay.&nbsp; There aren&#039;t a whole lot of them on there but the prices seem to be amazingly low and don&#039;t make sense.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; I don&#039;t know what issue price was on these from the mint but it&#039;s hard to believe that anybody that&#039;s selling right now is making money.&nbsp;&nbsp; Here are my observations:</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; -Typically, for one in a mint box with the paperwork, people want upwards of 260 to 270 range.&nbsp; (I&#039;m guessing just to break even?)</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;- But then you can find slabbed PF69s for 260 range.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;-But then there&#039;s a guy that has 8, PF70 UC&#039;s that he&#039;s selling, buy it now for 279.99!</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; -The Blue book lists these at 260.00 for a PF67, which is supposedly around dealer cost.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;- NGC&#039;s pop. report lists 1,828 PF70&#039;s graded and their price guide (yes, tends to be high but....) puts one at 400.00! </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; I picked up a PF70 UC last night for 263.00.&nbsp; (Why not since there obviously doesn&#039;t seem to be a premium for them?)</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;Another PF70 went today for 243!!</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; The kicker is that, there was only <b>44,174 minted</b>!&nbsp;&nbsp; Which seems quite low to me, for what should be a relatively popular commemorative within the hobby, since it was for the old mint.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;So I&#039;m just saying that this one in particular is really amazing me right now, as to why the demand and prices wouldn&#039;t be higher.&nbsp;&nbsp; I mean, I paid 53 dollars over BULLION for a NGC PF70.&nbsp;&nbsp; In comparison with so many other coins, and even factoring in some of the error with the price guides, this one simply doesn&#039;t compute with me.&nbsp;&nbsp; I guess nobody&#039;s buying?</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;Does anybody know of any other good deals (or steals) in $5 gold commems right now?&nbsp;&nbsp; I think the prices on these 06&#039;s are just way too cheap right now.&nbsp; I think there&#039;s a lot of up side to these in the near future (although I&#039;m not selling).&nbsp; Anybody agree?&nbsp; Disagree?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
