<p>[QUOTE=&quot;illini420, post: 632697, member: 19423&quot;]Thanks Yankee.&nbsp; Acutally, I think this part of my collection will by far be the easiest to sell, I just may have to take a loss on it if I need to sell quickly.&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Since I purchased the 22 coins at Mint issue prices I have about $11,500 into them, give or take a couple hundred.&nbsp; I know that I could have them sold today at 97% of spot at my local B&amp;M if I sold them for melt, so that would get me just under $10,000.&nbsp; I couldn&#039;t do that with most of the rest of my collection if I had to do so.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Also, I know that I can get better than melt on many of them (especially the 2008s) since they were sold by the Mint at much higher premiums (around $600 per coin) and there aren&#039;t as many around as there are of the 2007 spouse coins.&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>But you may be right, long term this series might be one of those that trades for near melt like many of the other modern gold commemoratives.&nbsp; However, several of the coins already have mintages less than 10,000 and a few are under 5,000.&nbsp; All modern gold commemoratives with mintages that low trade at premiums to melt prices.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I started with this series since I wanted to buy gold anyway.&nbsp; Thought this would be more fun than just collecting the boring gold Eagles that everyone has.&nbsp; Like I said, my downside will always be limited to the price of gold but I think this series has much more upside potential than other forms of U.S. bullion.&nbsp; Nevertheless, I&#039;m probably going to be selling them off soon (except for my extra Liberty designs) in order to buy some real coins <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie7" alt=":p" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; Just too expensive of a set to keep up with now that the Mint premiums are fixed at around 35% over spot or so.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
