<p>[QUOTE=&quot;berneck1, post: 1892589, member: 24201&quot;]Well, I agree that A LOT of this is &quot;first day&quot; hype.&nbsp; $3,000 for $1,000 within an hour is irrational exuberance at its best.&nbsp; However, I disagree that they will have so many cancellations and returns that the market gets flooded to the point that there will be no premium.&nbsp; These coins will hold a premium forever, and it won&#039;t be a small premium, especially for the golds.&nbsp; Some disagree, but this is a nice coin.&nbsp; It&#039;s unusual, and it has a simple elegant design.&nbsp; I would even say it has a nostalgic feel to it.&nbsp; Not to mention it encompasses a subject that millions of people care about.&nbsp; The clads are a high enough mintage that they probably won&#039;t be worth anymore than what was paid for them, which considering what the Mint charges is a pretty high premium...lol</p><p><br /></p><p>I also like that the Mint kept the mintages relatively low.&nbsp; It gives incentive for people to invest in their products.&nbsp; The vast majority of Mint products will never net anyone a dime, but as we know that&#039;s not completely what it&#039;s all about.&nbsp; Although, it is nice to see something you love actually demand a higher value after you bought it.&nbsp; I have no intention of selling, but coins like this are nice to pass down to the next generation. </p><p><br /></p><p>The single complaint I have is the lack of foresight the Mint had with the household limits.&nbsp; They didn&#039;t give enough of a chance to the single collector.&nbsp; The dealers are the ones who benefited the most on this one.&nbsp; Even I knew they would sell out the first day.&nbsp; I have nothing against dealers making tons of money, but we should all have a decent shot at getting a couple in our hands, and then let the aftermarket do its magic.&nbsp; A limit of 5, 25 and 100 for the gold, silver and clad would have been much more reasonable.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
