That seems like a good move Mister Kairu and I think I will do the same. Since the probability of it grading 70 (at least for me) is basically 0 and there is a high chance that it may grade lower than 69 I may actually lose money by getting them graded. However, this is only a short term price and is not nearly reflective of a market price. I will need to reevaluate it later but if you are in it for the semi-long term, it shouldn't be a problem to get them graded later without the early release designation, in my opinion.
In my opinion, this set hasn't even come close to realizing its true potential. It may be years though before it does. I'm talking 1995-W ASE level of price increases (maybe not quite as high, but proportional to the cost and popularity between the series). The Presidential dollar series is popular, it is not tremendously popular as the ASE, but it does have followers and I expect once the series is completed, it will attract more followers.
And with a mintage of 17,000 it is only a matter of time until it becomes highly desired by collectors of the series. Would anyone realistically argue that only 17,000 people would want a full collection of the Presidential dollars? It is just a matter of how many more than that 17,000 want a full collection and then we will see a big price increase. On top of that, reverse proof coins alone have a following (Personally I hope to collect all the reverse proof coins) So it seems a price increase is inevitable. However, I am not sure how long that will take. It could be five years or it could be twenty years. But, I imagine that those in it for the long haul will see a bigger return than we're seeing today for all the C&C sets assuming the mintage stays low. I could be completely wrong though
Haha.
