<p>[QUOTE=&quot;modernman, post: 352705, member: 11789&quot;]I ordered the 2008 Bald Eagle proof and unc. coin from the mint and got them at the introductory price.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Today I&#039;m going to my friend&#039;s son&#039;s Boys Scouts Eagle Scout Court of Honor. He&#039;s only 15 and already made Eagle Scout. I&#039;m planning on giving him the Bald Eagle proof to celebrate his accomplishment.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Howver, I actually bought the coin for my 12 year old son&#039;s collection, but he doesn&#039;t know I have it. I think the coin is beautiful and I want to buy the proof to give to my son and I just checked Ebay for the prices. The Ebay prices aren&#039;t that high, especially for NGC slabbed 69&#039;s. We&#039;re not into slabs, but I was thinking that it would be nice to have the slab so my son could just keep this coin out and look at it periodically.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Should I just &quot;buy it now&quot; for about $55 shipped. That&#039;s only $5 more than buying a boxed one from the Mint. Or, should I wait to see if the price drops since most commemoratives don&#039;t spike in value. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Thanks for your opinions.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
