$60 a coin. It's just slightly over the average sale price of a non slabbed one. I think the sticker shock is that he has 99 coins instead of 1-10 like most folks

If I had the money, I'd hold on to them. Aren't they supposed to go up in price?

Lol... If that sellers sells it for the asking price, I'm sure he is not worried about losing out on any future price increase.

That's the ole " buy 100 of them....keep one for myself.....and sell the rest for a profit....then use that money to buy more coins" plan......  And I'm sure he hopes to get in on the current Lincoln hype bubble and excitement over the "sold out" factor too.... |

What I find most interesting, he has sooo many of these, check out his other listings, this is not, IMHO, a level playing field! How would someone like this obtain this kind of quantity, does not seem fair, just my opinion.... along the same lines of the moment a concert tickets become available, you see the best seats are already GONE......  |

........ Some people will go to extreme measures to make a buck !......fair or unfair. It's just when the "common man" gets inflated prices at the end of this run that ticks us off !....  |

The ordering limit for the Lincoln Dollar was "100 coins per household", so yes he got that quantity within the rules.... Quote:
U.S. Mint: "Ordering Limits: Standard option limit information: To ensure the broadest and most fair access to the 2009 Abraham Lincoln Commemorative Silver Dollars, a limit of 100 units each per household is in effect for this product during the first 30 days of its release." He also apparently kept one LN7 Proof for himself: http://cgi.ebay.com/99-2009-Abraham...N7_W0QQitemZ190299958782QQcmdZViewItemQQptZCoins_US_Individual?hash=item 190299958782&_trksid=p3911.c0.m14&_trkparms=72:1205|66:2|65:12|39:1|240:1318|301:0|293:1|294:50 Edited by DNA

It would be nice to have the kind of funds to do that kind of thing.
I do not hold prejudice against anyone taking the risk, putting up THEIR OWN MONEY, and succeeding or failing.
It's fair.
What's not fair is the gubmint stepping in and throwing around all kinds of OPM at people making bad decisions with OPM.
That's criminal!
