Thanks Capt,


I am amazed the Prices these " collectibles " are Bringing ...


With that kind of cash flow, I Imagine I would gather some of the Best Examples of the 1792 Disme, 1794 Dollar, the 1804 Dollar, the 1895 Morgan Proof, the 1915 Pan Am. I Think I would be better off.......

ps, Of course I would run out of $$$$ before this list of mine above gets to the end.

Personally I would rather have a 1795 gold coin than a modern replica. It would be about the same price as what these were going for. And considering that they didn't even make gold coins in 1794...
these 230 gold privys went for about 8 million total, that is just crazy to me.

The total sales price of the 45 PRF-69's: $1,261,000. Average price ea: $28,022.00

The total sales price of 185 PRF-70's: $8,651,000. If you take out Coins #1 and #230, the remaining 183 examples sold for an average of $35,218.00

Total Sales of the 230 coins: $9,912,000. Would guess the S-B folks are pleased, but not as much pleasure had they been able to tack on a 15 or 20% buyers premium. Likely there are quants at the USM ecstatic over proving the business case for minting super-low numbers of "collectible" coins.

Sad state of affairs.

The proof of the pudding will be when these things start showing up on secondary auction markets in 5 years. Will they retain their Stacks auction selling prices or end up cratering?

Only time will tell.

Exactly...

I agree that the SB Hype was Strong as they intended, the bidding far exceeded Most expectations, That said It Should be interesting .........

I mean if your going to create collectibles, They Should be Collectible from inception or a Hit once released and Hold that premium, One Would hope....



For the winner's sake, I Hope they Will enjoy the In-Hand excitement and Thrills of their efforts, long into the future.....

Another beauty in the collection is attractive, but at the "advertised" mint price ... Yikes

I think I'll stick with the pre 33 ... so much more there for my personal likes ...
