They had the clad kits on ebay the same day they went on sale for over $100. Those were $10 nickel-copper coins. Some people have more money than patience, I suppose. |

especially this... from the ebay ad.. "Raw coins are IN HAND - Should have PCGS graded on 8/9" So, they aren't even graded yet. what does he do if they don't get a 70? |

When I saw this I thought of two words to describe it. The first is "Pathetic", and the second one involves a really bad cuss word.
Right now I guess I'm more sorry for the sap that paid more than 3 times the value of gold for the coin.

If this were not a child friendly board, I'd give my opinion on what I think about $4,799.99 each.

Did you guys see the fine print, which makes this even more obscene and shameful? "This is a pre-sale. I do have these coins in hand. They have been submitted to PCGS already. I should have them back as soon as Saturday 8/9. As soon as I have them back, I will be shipping them out to you."So the PR70 label image is a stock photo, the coins haven't been graded, and for all he knows the coins could come back a 68. Quote:
Right now I guess I'm more sorry for the sap that paid more than 3 times the value of gold for the coin. Unfortunately, it's even worse than 3x. It's a 3/4 oz coin and gold is $1313 an ounce as I type this. That means there is $985 worth of gold sold for $4800. That's a hair under 5x the bullion price. |

I think if I get into gold I will stick with Saint Gaudens.

In some ways I do not blame them for asking the exorbitant price. I mean it has the proper number on the correct holder with the perfect label. It must be worth a premium. It just has to be worth three times as much as any coin not in the correct holder, right? Well, not for my money, but people seem willing to pay it. So they figure they can afford to miss sales to the knowledgeable customers as they wait for the ones paying 300 to 400 percent premiums to buy labels.  |
