    The Mint should sell on eBay. They could get more.

    My local dealer offered me $4k for both, about 4 hours ago. I don't even have them in hand.

    He said the confirmation number was good enough. I'm holding, may play the FS game.

    I priced mine at a bit below $1700 ($1688.88, to be exact) in order to have it appear ahead of those that were priced at/near $1700.

    It sold in just under 2 hours.

    Not too bad $358 profit (plus mileage if your card has perks).

    I just checked your auction,

    With free shipping/insurance and having to ship book separately (maybe) along with straight fixed price auction
    The $358 is much less maybe $300.

    Still not bad for a couple of hours work.

    It does! image

    And I have requested that the buyer pay by PP echeck, although I don't know if they will do so. I'll save a fair amount if they do.

    Sometimes I just have to really wonder about folks!

    I mean think about it............

    These are currently available at the US Mint for a little under $1200 yet folks still bid on them on eBay for $1700.

    I just do not understand.
    I decided to change calling the bathroom the John and renamed it the Jim. I feel so much better saying I went to the Jim this morning.

    Hey don't forget the 20th anniversary silver sets. There was one dealer on ebay who was buying all he could on ebay @$160 a set when they could still be had for $100 a set at the mint, becuase he had a feeling they would take off. Then months later he sold each set for $500 a set. That guy made a killing and he definately had the last laugh. I would not be surprised if those buying at $1700 each now are dealers who have a big hunch.

    And if 50% grade out at a 70FS, they will make a killing.
    I hope I get one with missing edge lettering image

    I believe the 1 oz Eagles grade out at about 50% ratio and these may too.

    The Mint doesn't leave warm and fuzzy feedback like an Ebay seller can.

    As well the seller should. After all, serving his customer (up on a platter) is customary.

    This is all very surprising to me. The amounts people are paying on ebay when they can get the same coin at the mint with the possibliity of getting more than one later in the year. As the coin has an unlimited mintage that will go into the hundreds of thousands, I would sell ASAP as it does not seem possible that the coin will be a long term winner (with the exception of 70s). Irrational exuberance?.

    I guess two birds in the hand are worth one in the mail.
