    This whole hobby is rich guys buying magic beans. Collect what you like with money you can afford to lose. If the music ever stops, it's all worthless.

    Also, some not-so-rich guys. Eventually, the music does stop, for everyone....

    It also has to do with how cheap your in the coins to begin with. If the music does stop I’m Positive I’ll find a seat.

    Would you rather have that coin or 7 one ounce AGE?

    That coin sure has a great eagle design !

    I'm not a fan of most modern eagle designs but this one is great looking.

    Well, after all that drama, and less than a month later there it is listed on the BST. Guess you don't like that eagle so much after all (insert eyeroll emoji). Well, my previous comments stand on general principle, but this is definitely a point for the 'be more cynical next time' column.

    Maybe listing it on THIS bst was not the choice most likely to garner you a buy offer.

    you never mentioned how much you paid for it. if it was from a large collection, you have a basic idea what you have in it

    Why do you care? Maybe I just bought another coin for one of my sets and I have to sell something to fund it? Also I disagree about listing it here. I’ve sold 3 really nice coins on here already and have found that this is a great community. Finally your previous comments do not stand on general principle.

    Your right. I would take less

    they lowered the mintage of the 2018 and 2019 wedge tails to 250 units because there was no demand for 500 of them

    Yeah I think that it being 2oz of Gold limits the market right off the bat.

    The Wedge Tailed Eagles are designed by John Mercanti (12'th US Chief Engraver) and are into their 10'th anniversary this year. John designed the Heraldic Eagle on the ASE and has been working with Australia's Perth Mint and recently the Royal Mint. I love his Eagle designs and look forward to seeing each Eagle revealed annually. This is a coin, it is bullion, and it is collectable. (Some would just melt it, good for them, careful using a smelter...they get molten hot! To each his own.) I think this is his 2'nd design of the series and have them all, but only in silver....gold is a little pricey for me!!

    It looks like two ounces of gold bullion to me ... nothing more.

    Really? Gold bullion would be a 2oz Bar. This is a High Relief Proof. This is much different then 2oz bullion

    To me all ultra-modern NCLT bullion "coins" are nothing but melt.

    I have to disagree with this statement although I do collect classic coinage I sometimes dabble in modern silver bullion collecting as well … I do believe there is a “modern market” in future (well there’s a market now going on) for newer collectors getting into the hobby some folk aren’t afraid to spend more $$$$ for higher end and rare silver/gold bullion …. A lot of these so called “bullion” silver and gold rounds or whatever you want call them have a Low low mintage figure

    Some folks look at them as a collectible Numismatic item … same way as someone who looks at high end Morgan dollars ! Wait ! Morgan are only worth their melt value !!! Right ??? Why are guys paying $5,000+ for high high end Morgan dollars ??? Why not pay melt value for them ???? Get the picture ??? They have price tag on them simply because there’s a market and demand among collectors for them without it they wouldn’t be worth anything other than precious melt value
