[QUOTE="Numismania, post: 1968462, member: 28971"]I'll second that!! Absolutely nothing interesting about commemorating the issue of a coin design. 1)I just don't get the hoopla about labels (I prefer to collect coins, not labels). 2)I don't get why Lipton had to bus in hundreds of 'actors' to stir the pot, when interest was already there. 3)I don't get paying close to 1 oz's worth of $$ for 3/4 oz of gold. 4)I don't buy the reported $100,000 of the FIRST PURCHASED was 'legit' (just one of multiple attempts to inflate/manipulate the market for these coins by Silvertowne/Lipton). 5)I just don't get paying (or buying) the ridiculous prices reported.....all for a BULLION COIN MINTED TO ORDER. 6)I don't get why the Mint has to sell a highly anticipated new product at a major show, which crushes the ability for anyone NOT attending this major show, to get a 'hot', 'flipper's' special label (see #1), in the first place. It absolutely blows my mind as to what turmoil, nonsense, the outright blatant attempts to manipulate the market, that accompanied the sales of a coin where there are numerous reports of examples being 'spotted up' coming from the mint. Look at some past sales on ebay and check the images and notice the spotting problems on some PR70's...some look just awful, comments from members of various coin forums with reports of their coins being spotty...just total lunacy associated with this BULLION coin.
