Do you think the Niobium series will get value in the future? The mintage was reasonable, the coins went sold out at the mint, but the value did not get up since then... Just curious about your opinion...

Unlikely. All but the blue wolf are available below issue price.
I have the set of four and while they are nice, they are relatively small non-gold coins that cost nearly $140 each with tax. Not a lot of room for them to appreciate and they will likely devalue over time IMO.

Maybe not value-wise, but a couple of them look spectacular, like the wolf and the hunter. For being what they are they still look good.

Personal opinion: A lot of these were bought on spec by people who are now trying to sell them. Unless/Until all of those are tucked away into collections, supply will continue to exceed demand. Whether that will happen soon enough for the prices to bump back above issue before hitting the normal long term downtrend of NCLTs is anybody's guess but I would bet against it. Unfortunately, selling out at the mint is not the same gauge of collector demand that it was 10 years ago.

I really like this series but I just couldn't justify the price per coin. If each coin sold for $60 - $80 then I might of considered making the purchase.
I agree with what kud_85 said, the price will continue to drop. Maybe I might be able to pick them up for $60 each in a couple of years.

Doesn't seem that way.
I can't seem to complete my set and think I need to sell it and eat the loss. :(

Don't think it will rise. I like it as well, but like many others, it's just too expensive for what it is! The 4-coin set would have to go for below 400$ to bring general interest I guess. You can have all but the wolf below 100$ at APMEX: http://www.apmex.com/Search/Default...arch=niobium |

Perhaps a full set should be looked at by the mint in a way that any family can own one set divided between each other. You can't just target the "must-have-it-all" collector with a chequebook the size of the yellow pages. It's not sustainable because new collectors can barely make a dent with all the series that have already been made available. Slow down, Mint! Then maybe the orders can get out on time before the euphoric rush of a new set is soothed.

Funny thing is these are the only coins I keep on my shelf, I think they are the nicest coins released by the mint last year. The only coins that are better are the 20 for 20 ( except for the 3 ugly ones  ) |

Impressive set, thank you for pictures.
As people said before - do not justify their price. Actually I wish they will be bigger in dimensions.
