[QUOTE="rhoggman, post: 404338, member: 13987"]I actually read about this on another forum very early on before many people read it on NGC's website -- I think when they announced they were grading a new variety is when everyone found out. Anyways I did exactly this, but no one knew what I was doing at the time. Since I usually sell to this dealer, and don't normally buy I just went ahead and told him the deal, and that he should set three of them aside until a higher price develops. He kind of looked at me, and then I showed him what I was talking about.... A few weeks later when the mint released their statistics he was really happy considering the only other coin in the series with that low of a mintage is somewhere around $4,500. I never bothered to ask him when or if he sold them, and how much he got for them. I know they are going for 500-600 last time I checked. hmmmmm.... wonder if what I did was the right thing? haha Anyways, this really ended up being a good thing for me to do....
