“A wise old owl lived in an oak; The more he saw the less he spoke; The less he spoke the more he heard: Why can't we all be like that bird?” ― Edward Hersey Richards Enjoy my new purchase. My pics do not do it justice. It is a real stunner. TC
That's my problem as well. I absolutely love his stuff but the premiums are more than i'd pay unfortunately
This piece had a mintage of only 95. The cost was $75, which is well above the spot price for 1.5 ounces of silver, but I did not buy it to stack silver.
Seven owls were also made in 2.5 oz gold for $4,500 each: http://www.dc-coin.com/coloradogold...troyoz999satinfinish-1-1-1-3-1-1-1-1-1-1.aspx Nice, but more than I would want to spend on it.
Wow sold for $400 today (not mine): http://www.ebay.com/itm/Daniel-Carr...709371?hash=item25bdf487fb:g:kO4AAOSwzhVWq-1N
Honestly, I don't get it. I like it and the $125 issue is ok but I wouldn't buy this or the 2016 for $300-400. Don't get me wrong, you all know I'm a "Carr boy" but I'm flabbergasted by this.
I doubt I would pay $300+ for them either, but you bet your butt I am a buyer at issue price. The mintage numbers are so small, and there are enough carr collectors, that it is almost a guarantee to go up in value. I have 2 of the 2016 owls.
I'm not that surprised by it. More people are becoming aware that these were made and want them. Hopefully the set continues on, after a few years a complete collection will be quite a pleasing sight
I am guessing this was someone who ordered the 2016 Owl and was blown away by it so much they had to have the 2015.
