<p>[QUOTE=&quot;yakpoo, post: 1243425, member: 18157&quot;]<b>Please let me throw out a few caveats before you do that...</b></p><p><br /></p><p>Some folks on CT like to guess the direction of PMs and some like to guess the grade of coins. I like all those things, but what I REALLY like is to guess US Mint product &quot;Winners&quot; while they&#039;re still available! </p><p><br /></p><p>OK, let me step back a bit...</p><p><br /></p><p>I first discovered CT when I returned to coin collecting after a 25 year hiatus. I was like Rip van Winkle awaking from a long sleep. Many things had changed and CT was (and still is) the best place to discuss all things &quot;coins&quot; with some very accomplished Numismatists...and regular Joes, too.</p><p><br /></p><p>Back then, I was looking for a source for US Mint sales reports...<b>and there she was! </b>Standing like the glistening statue of Columbia atop the Capitol Dome...<b>Elaine1970</b>! :5hearts: You may not have heard of Elaine1970...or perhaps you&#039;ve only heard her name mentioned in hushed tones by CT elders...but she <b>DID </b>exist and she was the greatest purveyor of US Mint sales reports CT has ever known! :hail:</p><p><br /></p><p>She&#039;s gone now, but her memory lives on. :angelic2:<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie14" alt=":angelic:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie9" alt=":eek:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />hya: (I have it on good authority that Elaine1970 and Krispy had a love child that should be old enough to log on any day now) <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; <b>I KNOW YOU&#039;RE LURKING OUT THERE, KRISPY!!</b> ...but I digress.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve since found <a href="http://news.coinupdate.com/us-mint-sales-numismatic-gold-products-move-higher/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://news.coinupdate.com/us-mint-sales-numismatic-gold-products-move-higher/" rel="nofollow"><span style="color: #ff0000"><b>Coin Update, </b></span></a>which is an excellent source of weekly sales updates. I have a couple of years of Coin Update sales reports in 3D workbooks that can be easily analyzed for sales trends, either by themselves or merged with PM charts. The results are really quite interesting!</p><p><br /></p><p>I enjoy predicting US Mint products that have (imho) a chance to be money makers! Please keep in mind, it&#039;s only a prediction...<b>not FACT! </b>I just throw my arguments out there for comment. </p><p><br /></p><p>I really believe the <b>First Spouse </b>series will be a money maker in the years to come (great potential upside with minimal downside risk) and many very knowledgeable people disagree. </p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s fun to get predictions out there, then see what happens! I feel the same way about the 2010 and 2011 Silver Proof sets...great potential upside with minimal downside risk.</p><p><br /></p><p>So I guess what I&#039;m trying to say is...Make up your own mind and spend your money on what pleases you; I could be wrong (but I don&#039;t think I am). <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Best Regards, Yakpoo[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
