How? Knowledge that there was going to be a privy auction certainly did not cannibalize sales of his gold coin.
The market for 7500 sets is very different from the market for 230 privys. Neither would cannibalize the other.
Silly me. I thought you were tired of being wrong on this thread.
I have placed a bid on one of the privy coins that I doubt will be successful (a/k/a I'll have to increase my bid to have a decent chance of winning). If the coin/medal set were announced Monday, I would forget about increasing my bid for the privy and go for the set.
Different markets can still easily cannibalize each other.

I’m actually going to agree with NJ here. These aren’t even in the same neighborhood price wise. If they don’t release more, you’d be better off buying one on the secondary market instead of a privy coin.

Nope. I'll never get tired. In the meantime, if you really think the market for 50K, 75K, 1794, 10K or 17.5K of ANYTHING is in any way related to something with a population of 230, I have a portfolio of bridges in New York you might also be interested in bidding on.

Is this a commemorative coin ? So does it follows the $5 commemorative gold coin in end of year sales cut off too?
But then the Mint is not being logical with these 2 FH releases.
PCGS listing this FH privy as a commemorative is a bit frustrating to me. I thought only two modern commemorative coin issues were supposed to be minted per year. The Tubman and the Greatest Generation filled that criterion. My current registry set has every modern proof that has been issued in PR70. If anything, the FH should only be included in the PCGS modern high relief gold registry set.
PCGS apparently thinks that to have a complete modern commemorative set you need to own both of these flowing hair coins.
By limiting the mintage of the privy to only 230 and making them only available via auction to the highest bidder seems to me to be a flagrant attempt by the US Mint to manufacture and distribute some artificially rare products to only rich customers.
Will the Mint make a mint on this? Of course. Does it serve the American people like is stated in their mission statement? Yes, at least economically. However, only a few will be able to afford these, and the rest of us will be serviced, but not in a good way.

The mint had a maximum mintage of 75,000 but only minted 50,000 - so far.
They can mint another 25,000 anytime they want.
As for the gold, someone posted a notice quoting the mint that they had produced the full mintage of the gold coin, so if that's true then there are 7500 left to sell in some format.

You might want to re-read my previous post where I explained that a hypothetical announcement of a two coin/medal set before the privy auction would mean that I would not submit higher bids on the privy coin I am currently high bid on (I do not expect my current bid to be successful).
No announcement would make me more likely to increase that privy bid if/when necessary.

How fun would it be to be Elon Musk rich and win every auction for these privys! you can control the entire market.
You could. You'd also lose a fortune
If you have that kind of money $10M loss is nothing.
It would be interesting to do. You could then dole them out one or two or three a year and I bet it would yield a nice ROI even if the price of gold remained the same. It would be interesting because it would probably deter the mint from using this approach again. OTOH, they could just make the auctioneer implement a rule limiting bidding somehow.

Good for you, but if you are looking at a potential product with a 7500 mintage to inform your bidding on an item with a mintage of 230, what you do isn't going to matter. Not even a little.
If it does, you are really not in the ballpark. Even if you are high bid 3 weeks out. Get back to me 3 minutes after your lot closes, whether or not a 2 coin set is announced, and let me know how wrong I was.
Your max bid on any of the 230 lots won't come close to winning, so whatever you, or anyone thinking like you, do or don't do isn't going to cannibalize anything. Believe it or not.
The winning bid on the least expensive lot is going to be a multiple of what you could get a silver medal and a gold coin for today. So the potential appearance of two coin sets should have no impact on what you are willing to pay for a gold coin with a privy.
That is, if you are a serious, competitive bidder. Right now, you are just an early bidder who has dreams of stealing one of 230, as though SB has not arranged for the whole world, literally, to be watching.

There are 290 of the gold coins on eBay and 179 more are available on collectpure. Many of these were purchased only to flip. The ones on pure are under $4,300 now, and eBay recent sales for ungraded coins are around $4,500 (net +/- $4,300 with fees).
I really don't see much FH gold upside from here for these raw non-privy versions, especially if more show up in some new mint packaging concept. There also seem to be small flaws on many of these, including some of the privies, when inspected closely.
Agreed. Nice coin and not as common as the 2009HR $20 but in a similar category. As I’d said earlier even minor dealers at the Baltimore show would have 4-8 on display & sale - I did not inquire.

You're misreading the number on collectpure. 179 is the number that have been sold there. You can click on the Activity tab under the coin pictures and see the history of sales. If you type a number like 100 into the qty field and click Buy, you'll see there are only 9 available for purchase.

Thanks for correcting my pure misunderstanding. I do think most coin collectors that wanted one, have had an opportunity to get one. Obviously, some are waiting for lower pricing.

I rec'd mine yesterday, finally! My order was placed the first day at 12;03 pm. The coin is really a stunner in hand! Very happy I ordered it. It is staying as is, in original Mint packaging. I have no intentions of having it graded and will thoroughly enjoy it's beauty in the original capsule! I believe this coin will be a hit for many years to come.

Agreed! You need to hold it in hand (with glove of course) and admire the edge lettering and it's thickness! The closest thing to it IMO is the Paaladium Eagle series , also with its thick edge.

Not sure if the gold was released individually, but it was part of a three-piece set. Reference
says to call in for price...means i cant afford it? lol
Lol. More likely it just means the price is tied to bullion
Because bullion prices are not posted, and updated real time, all day, every day by govmint? No. It's likely because the product is expensive, and they are using it to prospect for new customers, so they don't want people to see the price and move on.
Private mint issues like this are sold on TV at huge premiums. If it's in a GC auction, its price and value is not tied to bullion. It's not a low mint state generic double eagle.
NOT a bullion product:
"Only 500 of these Smithsonian-authorized America’s First Silver Dollar Half-Ounce Gold/Silver/Copper Three-Piece Sets will ever be released and they available only through GovMint.com and its marketing partners.

Being the gold FH is a coin, doesn't the mint need to distribute in the year of mintage. IF yes, cutting it close.
Different issue. You would then be doing it to simply eff with the market not "control" it.
Not unless mandated by enabling legislation, which is not applicable here.
There are past year's coins for sale on the mint's website right now.
No. They need to make it this year. They can sell them 100 years from now. Go look at all the old offerings still for sale.
For sale today:
It would be interesting to do. You could then dole them out one or two or three a year and I bet it would yield a nice ROI even if the price of gold remained the same.

Thanks for correcting my pure misunderstanding. I do think most coin collectors that wanted one, have had an opportunity to get one. Obviously, some are waiting for lower pricing.

You are consistently wrong and feisty. I think you're hilarious.
Every forum needs a Costanza to laugh at. Please post more.
I am thinking more like a Cliff Clavin is more accurate🙄
Anyone seen or heard of this ½oz. 1794-2019 Gold Flowing Hair private issue up for auction at GC?
Dates fit nicely between stars and FH Liberty looks a little different from the 1oz. version, I believe.
I hope @PhilArnold creates a GreatPhoto™ of her.

Not sure if the gold was released individually, but it was part of a three-piece set. Reference
says to call in for price...means i cant afford it? lol
Lol. More likely it just means the price is tied to bullion
I’ll look into it. I’ve shot a few of these Smithsonian private issues.

I rec'd mine yesterday, finally! My order was placed the first day at 12;03 pm. The coin is really a stunner in hand! Very happy I ordered it. It is staying as is, in original Mint packaging. I have no intentions of having it graded and will thoroughly enjoy it's beauty in the original capsule! I believe this coin will be a hit for many years to come.
Agreed! You need to hold it in hand (with glove of course) and admire the edge lettering and it's thickness! The closest thing to it IMO is the Paaladium Eagle series , also with its thick edge.
Because bullion prices are not posted, and updated real time, all day, every day by govmint? No. It's likely because the product is expensive, and they are using it to prospect for new customers, so they don't want people to see the price and move on.
Private mint issues like this are sold on TV at huge premiums. If it's in a GC auction, its price and value is not tied to bullion. It's not a low mint state generic double eagle.
NOT a bullion product:
