Just noticed this. $700 for 2oz of silver.

4760 coins.
2 per box, 2830 boxes for sale.
$700 per box.
$1,981,000 potential gross.
$114,000 worth of silver and $8k in gold.
Thats a healthy profit margin.
These Niue people are trying to get in on the blind box phenomenon.
I will be really surprised if these sell at all.

"Niue" isn't doing it; I seriously doubt that anybody actually in Niue is aware of their existence. New Zealand Mint is doing it. NZM is a private mint, not actually connected to or with the New Zealand government (which does not own a mint, but generally does not use NZM's services). Niue is just the flag-of-convenience that NZM is using to legitimize their "coins".
Apmex claims they've already sold out from the NZM itself, a claim verified by the NZM website (the set was launched on 11 August, so they're not "new news"); the secondary market is the only place to get them.
Personally, I don't see the appeal of "mystery boxes". If I'm paying that much money for coins, I want to know what I'm getting and the prospect of getting coins I don't actually want or like the look of, is a major turn-off. If I was interested in such things, I'd be prepared to pay someone to open a bunch boxes and sell me the coins/cards I actually want. Gambling doesn't appeal to me at all.
But hey, maybe that's why I'm a coin collector, and not a trading cards collector.

Apparently I have been awarded one DPOTD.
It was released in August? And they sold out, that's nuts. Was it $700 on release or that's what they are upselling now?
Their stuff is usually ridiculously expensive anyway.
This product seems insane to me

I honestly don't know; NZM doesn't keep original issue prices on their website, and Wayback Machine doesn't have it saved.
