NeoSpec Valued Member Canada 192 Posts	Posted 07/18/2016 7:48 pm Well it seems that early speculators on this coin can already start to cash-in... I wonder if this is a temporary boost, or if it's just the beginning. I can see how it might be "fun" to speculate, but I'm pretty sure I'd hate doing it for a living. My focus is simply on coins that appeal to me for this or that reason. (I'm not a huge fan of the coloured coins, but this one appealed to me because of the borosilicate).

GregJG Valued Member Canada 257 Posts	Posted 07/18/2016 9:30 pm That is a beautifully designed coin! I'm not familiar with it... What was the release price and what do you think the market is at now? Report this Post to the Staff
NeoSpec Valued Member Canada 192 Posts	Posted 07/18/2016 11:51 pm The release price for this 1 oz. was 149.95 Canadian. and until very recently you could still get it for that price through Canada Post. I saw today on ebay that the sellers are asking between $170-200 for it. Probably a temporary bubble since it's no longer at the mint or post office, I'll guess... but this is all new to me so I'll keep watching -- maybe I'll learn something. http://www.mint.ca/store/coins/1-oz...-prod2440075 Report this Post to the Staff
Northerncoins Pillar of the Community Canada 2019 Posts	Posted 07/19/2016 04:42 am I wouldn't get too excited, the last few sold prices on ebay are $150 ish and one of those was a pf 69 slab. If you paid $150 for the coin you need to price the coin on ebay for like a min of $170 (to cover fees) just to break even and $180 to $200 to make a small profit. Nice coin but I don't think its going to be another glass lady bug. Edited by Northerncoins 07/19/2016 04:43 am Report this Post to the Staff

Still available at issue price at the Post Office and some dealers. https://www.canadapost.ca/shop/coin...ecution=e1s1 http://www.colonialacres.com/produc...xempt-147000 Asking prices don't provide an accurate value of a coin. Finished auctions is what you should look for. And most sold for around issue price on ebay. Also look at mintage. 8500 for this coin is a bit high, so very little chance of price appreciation.

canadian_coins Pillar of the Community United States 2408 Posts	Posted 08/07/2016 5:35 pm wow this is a really stunning coin. Good pic/scan BTW. I purchased a telescope for my kids about 3 years ago and we never got into the SETI frenzy. I guess we should take a look again. Report this Post to the Staff
