<p>[QUOTE="Conder101, post: 1086795, member: 66"]After nearly forty years I'm still cynical about things like that. But you miss one thing, the value is that high BECAUSE they haven't graded enough of them yet. The more of them that get the magic PF70 grade the more the price will come down. It's just like when a new issue commem comes out. The first people to get their hands on them flip them for high prices to th people who have no patience. Then later they become common as dirt and no one want them at much over bullion. The people who get them early and flip them win, those who buy them and flip quickly many win, and those who buy them at th high initial prices and hold as an "investment" lose. Can you say ATB hockey pucks? And if gold hadn't gone crazy you could say the same thing about the early first spouse coins. today the mintage figures are a seventh that of the early issues and they are still not much better than bullion. The early issues which initially sold out instantly and flipped at a high markup over the mint price now are bullion.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
