<p>[QUOTE="harley bissell, post: 2866753, member: 88212"]At various times in the past several major dollar error stamps (primarily inverts and missing colors) have been proven to be made to order to fund the CIA black ops. Since it worked so well with stamps its not a leap of logic to try it with coins or other collectibles. I'm guessing that if they were behind it the available quantity will prove to be around 50,000 and they will be slowly fed out into the market at "bargain" prices of $950 for a $2000 coin. Eventually the facts will come out so your question to answer is do you want to possess it bad enough to risk feeling taken later. That same basic question applies to all errors and varieties. Do you risk overpaying to be one of the first owners of something that surfaces in mass quantities later or do you hold back and watch a true rarity get so expensive that you will never own it? My personal process in all collectibles is to sell all hot varieties as soon as they are discovered at market prices then several years later when and if the market has cooled buy back a nice specimen for my collection. Nine times out of ten the prices collapse after everyone who wants one has one.</p><p>Sometimes I have the "satisfaction" of knowing that I got "top dollar" for something that moved on and went through the roof.
