What's the general consensus here? Will the two gold issues sell out? If so, how quickly? Finally from a purely investment standpoint, do you think they will ultimately prove to be a good purchase?
The gold and silver liberty bells are being released July 16. I think they are really cool but the premium is sky high, I won't be trying to get one. They will probably sell out, wealthy collectors getting them.
They're asking for, what, almost 5x bullion value as the initial retail price? It's very rare that a coin with such a huge premium does well on the secondary market. It's also rare that coins celebrating a specific event maintain their high value once the celebrations are done and forgotten. Let's look at it this way: did the 1976 bicentennial commemorative coins enjoy any kind of special premium right now, as the 250th anniversary came and went? I haven't noticed any such. So there's no reason to presume that these 250th coins will gain a sudden surge in value when the tricentennial rolls around in 2076, and not even a super-low mintage can counteract this.
Maybe I'll be proved wrong, and jingoism will win out over cold hard logic. But the fundamentals just don't look promising.

I like the idea but I think the price ultimately hinders these. I will most likely never see one and definitely will not ever have the money to purchase one. In my mind thats a coin that doesn't exist. There are other coins that meet those criteria but they weren't minted specifically for that purpose so I find these a little different. It could have been a lot more fun.
I just got an email from Bullion Exchanges, they are offering $22,000 for the 1 oz gold bell, mint price is $19,600. BE is also offering more for the 1/2 oz gold and 1/2 silver ones but not as much. My luck if I tried to buy it to flip something would happen and BE would withdraw the offer LOL.
