  • They are probably through the roof since I bought both of them. Bought PCGS MS & PR69 for less than mint price on ebay! Maybe the dealers were too busy buying everything else to buy more and it will be a sleeper.

    Maybe, but they were offered one heck of a deal that the average Joe couldn't even get a sniff of when it comes to buying Mint products. I suspect I'll be seeing them on the Vault before too long. image

    Way too late for it to be a sleeper. The mintages sold even before the 'bulk' sales were already too high for the coin to be one of those. Those who were purchasing and hoping that it would be one of the rarer issues will be disappointed.

    Have not heard how the bulk sales have done. Opening these up for bulk sales after the fact was a big mistake in my opinion, even if it was for a 'good' cause. This is the sort of thing that causes the Mint customers to lose faith, since it fosters that feeling that we have had that they will pull the rug out from under you at any time. Just check the uncertainty that eveyone has had concerning nearly every issue that was offered this year in the other posts.
