<p>[QUOTE="jaceravone, post: 442492, member: 9474"]Dman, When the first spouse first came out, I splurged and bought two of everything..... because after I got burned by not buying the 06 AGE set, I wasn't going to let that happen again. So I had an extra set of both proof and unc of Washtington and Adams. When gold was on the rise this summer, I sold the 4 coins for $500 each on ebay. In fact I sold them within minutes of posting them. It just blew me away because I was wondering if I should have asked for more. But given the fact that gold was all over the place and the popularity of these was down, I felt that I did ok. I made my money back and then some. The UNC coins sold for $411 and the proofs sold for $430 originally from the mint. THe only reason that you are seeing a Washington on sale for $800 is either because of ignorance of the market, greed or that it is slabbed MS70. I have to suspect that the $800 is for a slabbed MS70 coin, because nobody sane is going to pay $800 for a relatively unpopular common coin that cost $400 in OGP. There are some nutballs out there on ebay. Anyway, good luck..... and call my guy. I sent you the info last week. See what he is charging. I went down there today and he is closed. He will be in tomorrow after 12 noon.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
