<p>[QUOTE=&quot;johnboy65, post: 218175, member: 8547&quot;]According to the collector&#039;s universe message board Coin World will report on the estimated Washington Smoothies out there in next weeks&#039;s issue.&nbsp;&nbsp; From crunching the numbers on ebay of NGC/PCGS graded coins relative to raw smoothies I&#039;ve predicted about 60,000 all along and supposedly this article might agree with me.&nbsp;&nbsp; The great thing about this coin is that the counterfiet issue will force most owners to get them graded to alleviate any fraud concerns that a potential buyer might have, so we should have a very good indication in the next few months of what is really out there.&nbsp;&nbsp; Initially, the consensus was around 300,000 and then 150,000 to 170,000 became the number and now it looks like possibly 60,000.&nbsp; Personally, I&#039;ve been eating these up on ebay and I now have about 30 of these coins with a basis of around $2300 and I feel more comfortable with this investment than any other one in my life.&nbsp;&nbsp; I&#039;m a novice collector and I do know that 1995 W Silver Eagles go for around $5000 with a population of 30,000 and prior to collecting coins I never would have thought that a population this large could support that kind of price tag, but evidently it does and this is why I&#039;m confident that these Washington errors could be selling in the thousands within a few years if indeed there is only about 60,000 out there.&nbsp;&nbsp; I also like the aspect that there will probably be over a hundred million Presidential Dollar collectors out there and of course this will be the key coin to completing the set.&nbsp; Of course, if smoothies begin to surface in each series then the prices will probably be contained, but if the Mint has this under control and really is embarrassed by this incident and thus no more surface then I say these coins are heading to $1000+.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
