[QUOTE="19Lyds, post: 2196563, member: 15929"]No. But then, all it really needs is 5,000 collectors and 6,000 dealers with an inventory of 2 coins. On the other hand, the coin just does not appear to me to be very attractive or have much eye appeal. It's strongest and ONLY suit at this point in time is the mintage number and the fact that its sold out at the Mint. Those two factors are what has contributed to the current prices but those two factors cannot make the coin popular in 1 or even 5 years and the coins which have consistently high prices over the long run are always "very" popular! To me, this coin represents the PERFECT hype coin. Low published mintage - Sold Out at the Mint - Sold out in 15 minutes! All three of those qualifiers are not a reflection of the collecting public but more a reflection of coin dealers smelling "The Perfect Hype Coin". It has been stated more than once how collectors are upset that they could not order one "because the dealers and flippers ordered them all". Again, to me, that's the dealers controlling the market but it has nothing to do with the actual appeal of the coin. It has more to do with the small guy wanting to get in on the profit taking.[/QUOTE]
