Where they will slowly decline in value to the point of Silver melt plus maybe 10%. I give it 10 years. I don't see Silver hitting $650 / oz in my lifetime. |

I think 10 years is being generous

@ R and V ....yeah ..just like superman 2013...Well guys ..I finally got my first Falcon Lake coin order from Germany...one coin....Im pretty pleased.... A..that I got it period..one Canada seller refunded me and cancelled a 2 coin order B..I paid pretty much issue price plus 30.00..Now I suppose should probably flip it for 500.00 plus but I'm still waiting for 2 more from the Post office....so I guess I will hang on because it has a low coa number as well and the idea of letting it go is a bit to much for my collector sentiments...so I will enjoy it for at least a few days ..besides.... only a few coins are selling per day on ebay..The black light flashlight works in daylight so you can see the ray effect any time..which is better than GITD..The coin is perfect to my eye..I Havent removed it from the holder but it looks like the enamel work has some definition and the reverse design with the fishnet like maple leaves pattern is awesome...I wonder if the grading companies deal with this shape......How do you organize a welcome party for the alien race? you planet |

(Last price at Gatewest was $149.95). Can you name the seller? Would be good to avoid in the future. At least you got one. Congrats! If I had only one I would hang onto it. Nobody knows where this coin is going in the future. Quote:

Sounds like something MWario would do. His only ebay feedback in 3 weeks of selling 20 UFOcoins is from the highest bidder of all @ $748.96! I feel sorry for those buyers who have to wait for their coins until June 4, unless of course you are the highest bidder then you get yours right away! Such a saint! Edited by UFOcoin

I think ebay should prohibit presales..The Seller who refunded me for 2 Falcon Lake UFO coins had sold all 6 of his presales order for about issue price ...when he began to realize his losses he basically refunded everyone . It tied up my money in PayPal for about 2 weeks..The same thing happened to me during the Superman 2013 gold frenzy and it was 2 coins as well...Youre a seller sitting there with a coin you ordered that is exploding in value after you just sold it for issue price....Im sure most sellers at one point or another cancel and refund sales for a variety of financial and emotionally based reasons. They take the punishment and move on. I just did it myself recently over a comic book I sold and it cost me dearly. But I had the product in hand. Its a lot easier to do if you dont have the product in hand. Wariomario does have the product in hand. At least he told me he did. I think we should call him .... Last won Wario Edited by Cassidy77

The FL coin really looks amazing in the dark..Its a dream coin for any UFO buff....by far the best of the current govt issue UFO themed coins....very impressive ..The Niue Roswell coin is the next best in terms of technical perfection. RCM seems to have made some amazing developments in color and special effects...applause  |

@canadian _coins....I agree..and would add that novelty is critical for a speculative buy..along with relatively low mintage...The very unusual and novel Superman gold 2013 is the classic example...its still selling for triple issue. 1500 pcs....but the rest of the Superman coins are not so hot for speculation and few are interested in the recent offerings...the novelty has worn off...Comic book collectors dont bother putting their bucks into other areas. Falcon Lake is novel and anyone interested in UFOlogy is going to want one. Theres not much to spend your hard earned bucks on in Ufology so when a cool coin comes out you will want to get one no matter what it costs. With super heroes its different ..you have to spend big bucks for the best comics ......and comic book coins are not worth investing in.....especially after 2013 Superman. The RCM will probably figure out that comic book coins are done now...I hope so....As far as UFO themed coins are concerned....only die hard ufology buyers will spend the big bucks on them..just like folks who are passionate about watches..they will buy the rolex....ha ha |

Let's clarify something, guys:
Are we making multiple orders and hunting for the coins in CP to gift them all to our family and the friends?
Didn't we learn in the past 20 years starting from ICQ era, that over Internet, by default, no one forced to hold responsibility?
Do you really, Cassidy, excited from the painted coin as a masterpiece or you very happy, that one of the best mints in the world (imo) minted coin, that intersects with your hobby?
Honest answers makes everything clear and simple, and set everything in the place.

I bought something on ebay a few years ago, but the auction ended at a lower than expected price, and the seller refused to send it to me. I even offered to give him more money, but he refused. So, he received a demand letter from my lawyer. The contract was fulfilled. |
