All modern gold commems keep +ing on the greysheet.

fivecents

I know a lot of the price increases have to do with gold prices rising, but the higher dollar scarce gold modern commemoratives are also plusing in the greysheet. The uncirculated 2000-W bimetalic $10 is over $1,400 and the 1996-W uncirculated Smithson is nearing $900. Even the super high dollar uncirculated 1997-W Jackie Robinson keeps plusing. I am glad I already have a gold modern commemorative registry set.

That makes the Modern Gold Commemorative Set worth $11,000 at BID not counting a premimum for MS69's & MS70's!

Thanks for the info. It's amazing that deals can still be had on some of these on eBay considering the increases.

Would/could you share the greysheet on the 2001 Visitor Center Unc?

Thanks

Grey Sheet on the 2001 Capitol Visitors UNC $5 Gold is $585/$620.

Maybe someone is getting ready to do a major promotoin and is buying them up and putting pressure on the supply.

Tell them to stop already, at least until I complete my set (only need two more).

Who would have thunk it?

In a way I'm glad I have completed my collection of cherry wood box sets, but unlike many classic coins, in moderns what goes up has a better chance of coming down.

The high mintage gold coins will come down for sure if the gold bullion price drops. The others could be hit and miss. Despite the mintage I think that the Jackie Robinson Uncirculated gold coin is getting well within the "overrated category.

I think the super low mintage Gold commems have a lot of room left for price increases. These will be the future set stoppers.

BillJones...Do you have the 1996 Olympic 32 and 16 piece cherrywood set?

anyone know why the Smithsonian $5 unc has dropped so much?

seems odd next to the high prices for other $5 uncs with similar mintage's?

PTVETTER

some wholesale dealers have stopped buying gold commems.

there is something there, I am sure of that!

BillJones

As a dealer I found out pretty fast that the Gray Sheet numbers from modern gold commemoratives WERE NOT the numbers dealers would pay for them. View those numbers as retail amounts, at least for raw coins, and coins that don't get the PR-70 or MS-69 or 70 grades.

It doesn't make sense. The Smithsonian unc $5 gold has just a 9,000 + mintage combined with a great theme and design. I think it is a great buy right now.

This is a OLD thread tbw. Since then I sold off my gold modern commemorative gold registry set.

I might add that if you are into the modern commemorative sets in the wooden boxes, the Smithsoian set is hardest one to find. I've seen more of the 32 piece Atlanta Olympics sets offered at shows than the Smithsoian set. It's also unique in its design. The Smithsoian set comes in long oblong box that unlike an of the other sets. Here some pictures:

Yes Bill and the 1996 Smithson unc $1 is the hardest commemorative dollar to find on the aftermarket. The set is undervalued.

I love that set

I don't own many commemorative dollars, but I own the Smithsonian in MS largely because my two little girls think it looks like a fairy is on the coin.
