<p>[QUOTE="Vess1, post: 735554, member: 13650"]I think it's neat that the prices are still staying up there but I'm surprised they are. I'd be interested to know what percentage of people who purchased these, were only looking to make a quick flip on the secondary market. Because I thought they'd be dying down on ebay by now but ebay has been saturated with 7 pages of them, non-stop since they came out. </p><p><br /></p><p> If somebody was able to get two to sell one and pay for the one they kept, that was a pretty wise move. As far as selling my one set, I'm just not interested. Even though you can double your money, I'm not interested in giving up a set this nice and going through the hassle to make a measly $60 bucks. I'd rather just keep the set and forget about it.</p><p><br /></p><p> As far as quality of the cents, I believe they sprayed some type of coating on them to keep them from toning. Mine had dark spots too. I'm guessing it was probably from whatever they used. I still wasn't disappointed with them. At least there were no white spots.</p><p><br /></p><p> As for the future, I suspect they will settle down to a slight premium over mint issue, because of the packaging. 500,000 silver dollars and countless LP proof sets is simply not that rare. The market won't support it once the hype is over and the masses move onto the next big thing. That's my guess. Could be wrong though.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
