US mint website so Plucked up I can't order a coin.

[EE_]

Seeing that coins are still left for purchase... I'm speculating that this coin will not be a high dollar collectible.

you win some, you lose some.

I've had many winners from the US Mint, I agree, this one is not one of them. Maybe the third in the set will have a lower mintage and be the best of the three, creating interest in owning them all?

I'm going to take a guess and think a lot of would be buyers are "on hold" because of the election, possible October surprise, etc.

Let's look at the 2009 UHR which was a huge hit. Those didn't have a mint limit, just one per household, as many as the public wanted. They were minted all the way up to Dec 31, 2009. During that time, the total minted was around 115,000 coins total. Despite the unlimited number, anyone who wanted one got one..and it still was a big numismatic success.

The SLQ gold coin, is only going to be made this year, 2016. Plus, it's capped at 100,000 coins. Plus Plus, it's a stunning coin. Even if they don't reach a 100k coins, it's still one of a kind and based upon a design that's stated to be the most beautiful silver coins the mint ever came out with, all the way back to 1916.

Keep up the faith, EE. Besides, it's still gold, which could shoot through the roof. I doubt this coin will ever be worth less that the $485 we spent on it. So, I say it's a you win some, and you hold your value with some as well.

edit: APMEX is selling these coins for $600 right now, even though you can buy one from the mint for $485. What does THAT tell you? Insane..

You bought the curved baseball coins? Come on, you should have known that numismatic collectors and sports collectors really don't mix.

Oh I'm just a girl, what's my destiny?
What I've succumbed to
Is making me numb
Oh I'm just a girl, my apologies
