Ultra High Relief~US Mint or Ebay?~

I saw this one coming folks so here it is.

Today the mint raised the price of the Ultra High Relief to $1439. Nearly $400 over current spot for an ounce of gold.
They've produced plenty of them and the "high grade" numbers just keep increasing.

So I did a bit of digging on ebay and I found this auction that ended 4 days ago.

Now isn't that something? You can get an NGC slabbed MS69 with all the trimmings for less than the mint price if you play your cards right.

Now it IS a nice looking piece but you know what it really is? A terribly overpriced ounce of gold.

Had the mint not raised the llmit from the original ONE it might be a different story.

Do you see that as reflecting market conditions, or as a result of the fact that the seller had only 20 transactions worth of feedback and a "no returns" policy?

 

Just go with the mint. Safer.

 

That increase makes me glad that I bought mine back in March!

 

I got mine for 1290. Woohoo!

 

I paid $1239 for one and $1189 for the other.

 

Ah $1239 that's what I paid. Thanks for reminding me.
