Give it time they'll be a lot cheaper when the hype is over.

 

Yeah, right. At current eBay cost, the dimes are about $25 each. Do you really believe they'll ever sell for less than that? If they do, I'm in for a roll of each.

 

I do, $25 is a pretty good in my opinion, I expect them to drop soon.

 

IMO, sooner or later the set will sell for < issued price.

 

Hope they do, as like I said, I'd be in for a roll of each dime. But, yeah right, they'll sell for the same as the 1996-w?

 

IMO, if the price of these sets drops significantly, it'll be the dollar dragging it down. Proof commem silver dollars never do well, and this one has a high mintage limit. However, I don't see the set falling below $80 in the near future. I think $30 for the dollar and $25 each for the dimes is probably about right .

 

Why do you think I asked the best photographer in the house? Now we are missing one coin

 

Ok thank you, I don't know if I have been here long enough to buy anything. Don't even know how it even works. I'll have to do some research.

 

three coin sets are reaching new highs. PCGS graded sets Selling for $455 now.

 

What grade?

 

70

 

Wow. PCGS March of Dimes labels are twice as ugly as the NGC labels.

 

A trend clearly established by the 2014 Kennedys and the Saddle Ridge labels. There is no tastelessness to which PCGS will now not sink, apparently. I just assume it falls directly from Mr. Hall's personal idea of taste.

 

Lovely cherry-picked price data there.

Several more have sold for under than since the "all-time high" so far you quote from Sunday, May 17th -- $400, $345, and $403.

 

The professional graders are struggling with a business model that has severe limitations. I think more and more, their emphasis will be on new mint issues, and to that end, you would think better labels would be a priority.

 

As is nearly always the case on CT, the extremist ideologues are rushing to their extremist positions and they're both going to be wrong. Does nobody critically observe history? This set will do what similarly positioned sets have always done. Its initial price curve will be shaped like the chi-squared distribution curve - meteoric rise, brief top, followed by a steady fallback to something approaching reason. It will never get below OIP, and will carry a modest to medium premium for the foreseeable future.

When reduced to its component pieces, the proof dollar will be among the biggest dogs of the modern commem series. "What you have to buy to get the other thing(s)" always does that. It will be a small premium over bullion at the end of the process. The dimes, the reverse slightly higher, will hang on at prices that strike the naysayers as obscenely high, and the fanboys as "not quite enough to sell mine".

We call this phenomenon "equilibrium".

The interesting thing will be watching the other March of Dimes dollar, the BU, outperform them all over time.

 

Prices seem to be climbing. Ill have to see what they went for in last nights stacks/sothebys auction.

 

Bellman, You sound jealous. LOL

 

Of what? I bought the quantity of sets that I wanted to keep for myself (What a concept, right?), exactly ONE. IMAGINE THAT!
