Message:: [QUOTE="purple88, post: 1795048, member: 56032"]These are exactly what I'm talking about. I wanted a coin series that I could collect all of them on my budget and grab a bunch of the latest issues while there'll still cheap (or before they sell out). There's no official mintage numbers but the older ones get a ton of attention and sell quickly on eBay. As an example the 2004 and 2005 regualary trade for $160 plus. I hear they are incredibly popular in Europe especially Germany. I enjoy the numismatic side of the hobby but I seem to be behind on the curve when it comes to making good investments. That's what had drawn me to this series. I've been doing a ton of research and really think these coins are sleepers. They are simply beautifuly made to an almost prooflike finish. I've purchased the whole series and 30 2013's along with 11 2014's. I picked up the 2013's for about $30 each and now they're selling on eBay for 15-30% more. I hooked up with a seller out of Germany, to acquire the pre 2013s, who cut me a deal on multiple purchases and combined shipping. For some reason the 2005 is the most expensive, followed by the 2014. What's your strategy? Do you think they'll make a good "sleeper" investment? The history behind them is fascinating.[/QUOTE]
