<p>[QUOTE="Vess1, post: 5141988, member: 13650"]They can thank the youtubers with their stupid gimmicky pictures and promises. All offerings sold out in under an hour. It still would have been a successful offering if it would have taken 2 days, 2 weeks, 4 weeks before they sold out. They would have gotten into collectors hands. They didn't have to sell out that fast. Whatever happens happens now.</p><p> Its very hard for me to believe there isn't 5k people who would like to have the gold RP in their collections....in the state of Massachusetts alone. That is a very low mintage for a universally celebrated event and a pretty neat commemorative. A nice MS example of the 1920 version goes for 10 to 13x melt value and there's 150k of them out there. Nobody's giving them away for melt. So there must be SOME interest. The two coin silver set probably should have been 30 or 40k.</p><p><br /></p><p> I’ll share a funny story with you guys. A collector I know was trying to buy one of the reverse proofs on eBay at a reasonable premium . It’s not me as I was able to snag one from the mint although it’s still processing even though I bought in the first 3 minute. Anyway he bid $845 last second. Somebody’s high bid was 715 (issue price lol) so he won it at 717. The seller wrote back shortly after and said it was no longer available. So he wrote him back. Then the seller says I’m not going to lose $100 on this. At this point I’ll just send it back to the mint. Then he says o thought it was no longer available. Then the seller says it was damaged. Lol. What a laugh. People and their pre-sales. Everybody wants a get rich quick scheme.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
