What are the odds the ASE 20th Anniversary Set sells for under list in 2007?

Yes, another ASE thread. Just wondering what the geniuses of the hobby think the chances are the 20th anniversay ASE will drop below $100 in 2007 once the thrill is gone.

Geniuses? You know who you are.

    Not a coin genius, but my uneducated guess would be that the chance of this set selling for under $100 (as a set) is practically 0
    Chances are that the RP alone will be selling well above $100 mark, maybe even ungraded.

    First off, your example is a First Strike coin and not necessarily a run of the mill set.

    Secondly, I would not be surprised if the entire set sold for less than or close to list by the end of next year. These are not officially sold out and there are 250,000 or them to go around.

    Graded sets will always bring more than list but we are not talking graded 'First Strike' sets now are we. Or are we?

    Usually these things sell for moon money until the market gets saturated. 250,000 is a a lot of coins.

    Extremely low. I offered a workmate $1100 for 10 sets. Instant $100 profit for them with no risk. I even told him I expect them to increase substantially.

    True, for all we know the First Strike™ coins could develop the worst spots of all of them.

    Same as the odd of 2001 buff's selling below issue price.
  • GoldbullyGoldbully Posts: 17,878 ✭✭✭✭✭
    Yet another MS/PR69 AES set going for top dollar........


    How they come up with or without a deep cameo is most subjective IMHO.

    I am certain some of the ASE sets will be sold for under $100. These may be to pawn shops or the like, they might be stolen, whatever. Or as walk ups or trade ins at a show or store.

    It is extremely unlikely that the retail price will drop under $100, but the odds are greater than zero. It is possible that dealer bids will be below $100 and I'd put the odds of that at 25%. Almost all the hot money demand is for First Strike graded sets. The raw sets are not hot, and the mint has not even put up the banner saying it has sold them all.

    I have a question on a related note. At what point in the year will the mint quit taking orders for this set? If they stop taking orders in the next few weeks, the total mintage may be well below 250K

    Ain't gonna happen, your chance of getting them at list is gone and about the only way you would get a set below original list is if two of the three coins are missing!

    That is my non-expert opinion!

    If you get a chance to buy some that low...its a ripoff and you are donating your money to a scammer.

    The only scenario that I can imagine would be..................................sub-prime mortgage lending crisis mushrooms....................................banking crisis forces bank closures...............................................fed declares banking holiday.................................................china stops trading in dollars................................yen crashes..............................hillary elected......................................iran assumes control of eastern iraq.....................................etc, etc...............................

    At some point, coin sets would be worth their weigh in silver, but that's about it. Probability, I'd say about 1.5%.
